Course overview
Want to call yourself a guru of software security? If you’re demonstrating a globally recognised level of competence, the next best step is getting certified with the Secure Software Lifecycle Professional Certification.
With attackers and researchers continuing to expose new application vulnerabilities, it’s no wonder that these weaknesses are reported as the top threat to cyber security professionals.
It’s crucial that everyone involved in the software development lifecycle should be knowledgeable and experienced in understanding how to build secure software.
The CSSLP will teach you skills in exactly this. You’ll learn the expertise to incorporate security practices, authentication, authorisation and auditing into each phase of the software development cycle.
