Secure Programming Training

With the amount of security attacks and high-paced agile sprint cycles, securing your software from day 1 is a major cost-saver. When developers know where common security flaws lie and how they can be prevented, the risk of security breaches and costs will be reduced by implementing security features early on. This training focuses on code review and application security.
