When software security flaws are discovered and investigated, the root cause is too often traced to insecure coding practices, inattention to security during design, or both. In this two-day class, we cover things you need to develop software that is Secure by Design and Secure by Default. We’ll review core design principles that will guide you toward these goals, bringing the concepts home through group exercises.

Our coverage will include general secure coding principles, as well as specific approaches for preventing several of the most common vulnerabilities in application code. We’ll address several of the OWASP Top Ten application vulnerabilities, plus a few other “deadly sins” of software security. We’ll also cover best practices for creating secure default configurations.

Our class format is a combination of interactive presentations, group exercises, and hands-on secure coding labs. Labs will be available in several languages/frameworks, so you can work through the coding exercises in the language most relevant to your daily work.
