Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Modern software development requires security to be integrated throughout the entire development lifecycle rather than being treated as a final checkpoint. As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native architectures, open-source dependencies, and automated deployment pipelines, secure development practices have become essential for reducing vulnerabilities and managing risk. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of application security, threat modeling, supply chain protection, and cloud-native security practices that help organizations build resilient and secure software systems. 

This course begins with secure development and code security, covering Secure by Design principles, secure coding practices, secure configurations, OWASP Top 10 defenses, vulnerability testing, and runtime protection mechanisms. It then explores threat modeling methodologies, including STRIDE, attack trees, OWASP Threat Dragon, risk assessment techniques, and secure design transformation. The course continues with software supply chain security, focusing on SBOM creation, dependency management, open-source risk assessment, SLSA frameworks, artifact signing, vendor risk evaluation, compliance requirements, and incident response. Finally, learners examine cloud-native and container security concepts, including Kubernetes security, Infrastructure as Code security, runtime monitoring, network segmentation, secrets management, governance, compliance automation, and continuous security monitoring through practical hands-on exercises. 

By the end of this course, you will be able to design, develop, deploy, and maintain secure applications across modern software and cloud-native environments.
