• A deep understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and its stages, with a focus on integrating security at each step. 

• Knowledge of secure coding practices, secure software architecture, and techniques for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities in software. 

• Practical skills in assessing and addressing common security flaws in software applications, such as injection flaws, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication vulnerabilities. 

• Insights into regulatory requirements, industry standards, and frameworks like OWASP, ISO 27001, and NIST to guide secure software development practices. 

• Knowledge of secure software design, development, testing, and maintenance techniques. 

• Enhanced ability to evaluate risks related to software security and implement solutions that minimize threats. 

• Experience with secure software deployment strategies and risk management in software operations. 

Upon completion of this course, you will be prepared to take the ISC(2) CSSLP certification exam. You will have the skills and expertise to integrate security practices across the entire software development lifecycle, ensuring that applications are designed, developed, tested, and maintained securely. This course will help you strengthen your understanding of secure coding and software development practices, making you proficient in preventing and addressing vulnerabilities in real-world applications. 

This course is ideal for software developers, software engineers, application security specialists, security architects, DevOps professionals, and anyone involved in the software development process who wants to integrate security into the SDLC. It is also beneficial for those who wish to enhance their ability to develop secure applications and protect against security risks in software systems.

While no formal prerequisites are required, it is recommended that candidates have a foundational understanding of software development and programming concepts. Experience with software development languages such as Java, C++, or Python will be helpful, as well as familiarity with basic security principles and IT concepts. It is also beneficial to have prior knowledge of network security or systems security.

Upon completing this course, you will be fully prepared to take and pass the ISC(2) CSSLP certification exam. The CSSLP is a globally recognized credential that demonstrates your proficiency in building secure software and your ability to apply security principles throughout the software development lifecycle.
