To produce secure software, individuals in technical roles (developers, testers, and program managers) directly involved with developing software programs must understand the risks involved and have the proper training on how to prevent  or mitigate them – should they arise.

 

Understanding software security threats is the foundation for building better software. By allowing developers to stay informed about security basics and the latest trends in security and privacy, you’ll increase their commitment to writing more secure software.

 

Komodo’s application security training program covers topics such as:

 

• Threat Modeling: Defining business objectives, user roles, data and use cases – identify threats that can compromise Confidentiality, Integrity and data availability.

• Secure Design Principles: Includes attack surface reduction, defense in-depth, the principle of least privilege, and secure defaults.

• Secure Coding: Includes buffer overruns mitigation, error handling, input validation, proper encoding techniques, and cryptography.

• Common Attacks: Includes an introduction to OWASP top 10, SQL injections, Cross-site Scripting, and clickjacking.

• Application Security Basics: a broad intro into the application security domain covering all of the above.

 

Our experts also develop custom training plans according to the relevant audience and your organization's needs.
