[June 10, 2011] Research and Markets Adds Report: Introduction to Secure Coding 201 Tweet Jun 10, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Introduction to Secure Coding 201" training course to its offerings. In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: Software applications are regularly targeted by internal and external hackers, costing the organizations that develop them dearly in terms of time and budget. "Introduction to Secure Coding 201" provides a crucial insight into software security principles for development teams to consider at every stage when building their applications. The education of development team staff ensures applications are coded according to best security practice. Key Learning Features: -Interactive presentations of core areas such as: Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Open Web Application Security Project and System Administration Networking and Security (SANS). -Interactive testing -User-friendly navigation -Certificate of completion at end of course -User understanding tested and reviewed throughout course -Security best practice advice - security as a business enabler -In depth study of threats, hacks, vulnerabilities and counter-measures development teams should be familiar with -Content presented in logical and continuous progression according to instructional design best practices On successful completion of the "Introduction to Secure Coding 201" course, users will be able to: -Understand the importance of the SDLC and how security in web application development can be integrated into it -Identify and define the different types of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities that exist against code -Recognize the 10 security vulnerabilities and the top 25 most dangerous software errors as defined by OWASP and SANS -Realize how the requirements for secure coding apply to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Retrospectively fitting security features (such as firewalls, intrusion detection etc.) may reduce the security risk of some organizations, however it does not make the code secure. "Introduction to Secure Coding 201" presents concise content so that learners are able to distinguish between the different types of threat to web application coding and how to implement their counter-measures.
