What you'll learn

  • Determine how to specify the proper software architecture to meet your software security requirements
  • Identify the correct software Implementation requirements needed for a secure software program
  • What are the critical aspects of secure development
  • Anyone preparing for the (ISC)² Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam would benefit as well

Course content

1 section • 12 lectures • 1h 5m total length

  • Introduction2:19

    Discover secure software implementation across an eight-course series, guiding developers, architects, and IT professionals to address SDLC issues, vulnerabilities, security controls, and secure build pipelines.

  • Instructor Introduction1:07

    Meet a 25-plus year IT veteran and government security expert, now CFO of tech Commanders, author, and US Navy veteran, guiding you into software development with storage networking.

  • Course PreReqs0:43

    Learn the fundamentals of software development lifecycle and IT security best practices, with no prerequisites, and practice what you learn to succeed in completing the series.

  • Secure Software Implementation3:26

    Learn how secure software implementation fits into the deployment phase of the SDLC, with testing, onboarding, installation, and a feedback loop guiding rolling out new software.

  • Common Software Vulnerabilities12:53

    Identify and mitigate common software vulnerabilities, including injection flaws, broken authentication, and broken cryptography. Protect keys, passwords, and tokens while addressing session management, authorization, misconfigurations, and vulnerable components.

  • Security Controls12:46

    Explore security controls for input validation, decoding and canonicalization, hashing, encryption, tokenization, and centralized exception handling to prevent injections and tampering.

  • Implementing Security Controls12:46

    Enforce input validation with allow and deny lists, decoding once and canonicalizing inputs before validation, and strengthen security with hashing, encryption, tokenization, and centralized exception handling, logging, and sandboxing.

  • Securing Build Systems7:00

    Learn to select and classify build system security controls using cost-benefit analysis, frameworks and audits, covering technical, operational, administrative, and management controls.

  • Course Review7:48

    Secure build pipelines by protecting repositories, enforcing governance, and automating vulnerability scanning across ci/cd stages, with private networks, access controls, and configuration management.

  • Course Review2:32

    Review key points on encryption, input validation approaches (exact match, allow list, deny list), injection vulnerabilities like SQL injection, misconfigurations, and security controls such as password salting.

  • Course Review Questions1:37

    Course review questions cover injection vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting and unsafe deserialization, clarify that backdoor is not a security misconfiguration, and discuss server-side request forgery and security control families.

  • Course Closeout1:01

    Explore the resources and programs, including tech commanders, gcp gurus, a GitHub repository, and cloud interview ace. Reach out for assistance to become a cloud engineer or developer.

Description

Course Overview

In this course series we cover what secure software design means and why software can meet all quality requirements and still be insecure.

Please note that this course provides introductory concepts for beginners and is NOT a programming course or has any hands-on.

This course, specifically Secure Software Implementation, is designed to provide learners with a foundational start in software design that focuses on software security, SDLC, and IT Security Fundamentals. 

The course covers essential aspects of Secure Software Implementation, Common Software Vulnerabilities, and Security Controls.

The course continues on to cover Implementing Security Controls and Securing Build Systems to name a few lessons.

The course provides some review questions and a summary review.

Lastly, the 8-course series cov.ers approximately 65% or more of the exam objectives for the CSSLP exam upon completion of all eight courses.

There are many benefits of designing security early with your software build,s which we cover in this course.
