Course Overview

This course is perfect for software developers, security engineers, and IT professionals who are responsible for building and maintaining secure applications. It covers key concepts that address the growing need for secure software to mitigate evolving cybersecurity threats.

This course begins with an introduction to secure software development, discussing why security is critical and outlining major software vulnerabilities. You'll explore the evolution of software development methodologies and the core principles of secure software development, including a detailed look at Microsoft's SDL. The course then delves into the core phases of the SDL, including the training, design, implementation, verification, and response phases. Topics like threat modeling (STRIDE vs PASTA), secure coding practices, penetration testing, and vulnerability management are comprehensively covered. Additionally, you'll learn about the supporting security activities, release and deployment processes, and the continuous improvement of the SDL through ongoing training and threat monitoring.

By the end of this course, you will gain a practical understanding of how to apply Microsoft SDL for building secure software, along with tools and techniques to continuously improve the process.
