Software Security
What is Software Security?
Software security engineering is the process of designing, creating, testing, and maintaining software that is secure. This includes both the code that makes up the software, as well as the systems and processes that are used to develop and deploy it.
Software security is aFI am constantly necessary because new vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered. In order to keep software secure, engineers must constantly be on the lookout for new threats and vulnerabilities, and create new defenses to protect against them.
There are many different aspects to software security, and it is a complex field. However, there are some basic principles that all software security engineers should follow. These include:
1. Security should be built into the software from the ground up, not added on as an afterthought.
2. Threats should be identified and analyzed early in the development process.
3. Defenses should be designed to be as strong as possible, while still allowing the software to function correctly.
4. Security testing should be an integral part of the development process, not an after-the-fact check.
5. The security of the software should be constantly monitored and improved over time.
Software Security Resources
Secure Software Development: Requirements, Design, and Reuse (LFD104x)
Learn the security basics to develop software that is hardened against attacks, and understand how you can reduce the damage and speed the response when a vulnerability is exploited. This course is designed to give you an overview of security basics, including system security requirements, secure design principles and best practices, and how to securely select and reuse software for your systems.
Securing Your Software Supply Chain with Sigstore (LFS182x)
Building and distributing software that is secure throughout its entire lifecycle can be challenging, leaving many projects unprepared to build securely by default. Attacks and vulnerabilities can emerge at any step of the chain, from writing to packaging and distributing software to end users. Sigstore is one of several innovative technologies that have emerged to improve the integrity of the software supply chain, reducing the friction developers face in implementing security within their daily work.
Understanding Vulnerabilities and Security Threats (WSKF603)
Build better software and strengthen your IT career opportunities by hardening your security mindset. Break down the OWASP® Top 10 to understand the most common pitfalls and use hands-on labs to learn techniques to battle each vulnerability.Key Benefits for You:✔ Live, instructor-led hands-on labs✔ Harden your cybersecurity skill set✔ Practice using your preferred development language

Software Security
This course we will explore the foundations of software security. We will consider important software vulnerabilities and attacks that exploit them — such as buffer overflows, SQL injection, and session hijacking — and we will consider de...
Implementing DevSecOps (LFS262)
DevSecOps practices are an extension to standard DevOps practices, focusing on automating security and incorporating it as part of the process, which includes Continuous Delivery, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and observability. Use of DevSecOps results not only in delivering safer code faster, but also facilitates early feedback to developers, helping them build more reliable software. This course explores implementing DevSecOps practices into the software delivery pipeline using open source software.
セキュア ソフトウェア開発：検証、専門的トピック (LFD106-JPx)
Learn the security basics to develop software that is hardened against attacks, and understand how you can reduce the damage and speed the response when a vulnerability is exploited. This course is designed to show you how to verify software for security, and gives you the chance to take a deeper dive into the basics of applying threat models and cryptography.
Securing Coding Fundamentals (WSKF601)
