Secure Coding Practices

This Specialization is intended for software developers of any level who are not yet fluent with secure coding and programming techniques.Through four courses, you will cover the principles of secure coding, concepts of threat modeling and cryptography and exploit vulnerabilities in both C/C++ and Java languages, which will prepare you to think like a hacker and protect your organizations information. The courses provide ample practice activities including exploiting WebGoat, an OWASP project designed to teach penetration testing

• Practice improving the security and robustness of programs
• Create threat models and apply basic cryptography
• Evaluate and remediate fragile C++ library code
• Exploit and fix common injection vulnerabilities

• Basic familiarity with the topic and its common terminology
• Readiness to practice through applied exercises or case-based work
