Secure Coding and SSDLC Fundamentals for Developers

In today's digital landscape, security cannot be an afterthought. Modern software development requires integrating security practices directly into the development lifecycle. This text-only course guides you through the core principles of the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) and secure coding practices. You will learn how to identify vulnerabilities early, adopt a security-first mindset, and implement defensive coding techniques. What you'll learn: • Understand foundational SSDLC frameworks and how security fits into modern DevOps workflows. • Analyze common application vulnerabilities, including the latest OWASP Top 10 risks. • Apply threat modeling principles to identify potential design flaws. • Implement secure coding practices to prevent injection and authentication flaws. • Configure automated security scanning tools within a continuous integration pipeline. • Practice secure dependency management to protect your application supply chain. The course begins with essential security terminology and foundational concepts before moving into practical code-level defenses and automated pipeline integration. Through structured written explanations and code snippets, you will build a comprehensive understanding of secure software engineering. This course is designed for software developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals who want to build secure software. No prior security experience is required.
