Fundamentals of Secure Software Design

About this item

Master secure software development with this hands-on application security training course built on OWASP best practices, threat modeling, and AI-powered security automation. Designed for developers, security engineers, tech leads, and architects, this application security for developers course teaches you to shift security left across the secure SDLC, starting with security-first principles (CIA Triad, Least Privilege, Zero Trust) and threat modeling using the STRIDE framework and DREAD scoring with GenAI-generated attack scenarios. You will apply OWASP Top 10 vulnerability prevention through SQL injection prevention, XSS prevention techniques, CSRF protection, and access control fixes, plus secure authentication patterns including OAuth 2.0 implementation, JWT security, bcrypt password hashing, secrets management best practices, and encryption, all through practical Python secure coding and JavaScript security labs. You will then build DevSecOps automation and enterprise secure software architecture skills: integrating SAST, DAST, and SCA tools (Bandit, Semgrep, OWASP ZAP, Snyk) into CI/CD security pipelines, refactoring insecure anti-patterns, and using GenAI for AI-powered code review and security test generation. Final modules cover OWASP API security, secure API design, microservices security, container security with Docker hardening, cloud security architecture, and cybersecurity governance through NIST SSDF training and ISO 27001 compliance. Every module includes vulnerable code labs and real breach analysis, culminating in a capstone secure architecture blueprint, so you leave with deployable secure coding patterns, pipeline configs, and policy templates, not just theory.
