Headline:

Sviluppo della Sicurezza nel Ciclo di Vita dello Sviluppo Software

Course Overview:

In the comprehensive course, "Application Security Fundamentals", participants will dive into the essential aspects of securing applications. We'll start by defining Application Security and discussing its significance in the context of modern software development. 🗝️

Key Topics Covered:

• Importance of Application Security: We'll explore why it's critical to integrate security measures at every stage of application development, not just as an afterthought.

• Static vs Dynamic Analysis (SAST & DAST): A detailed explanation of the differences between Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). 🔍

• OWASP Top 10: We'll delve into the OWASP Top 10 list, which highlights the most common security vulnerabilities and provides guidance on how to address them. This is a must-know for any developer or security professional.

• Hands-on with HCL AppScan: Learn the ins and outs of using HCL AppScan tools for application security. Understand how to perform both static and dynamic analyses effectively, interpret scan results, and generate comprehensive reports that identify potential security issues. 🛡️

Course Highlights:

• Understanding Vulnerabilities: Identify common vulnerabilities in your applications and learn strategies to mitigate them.

• Lifecycle DEVSECOPS Integration: Get a grasp of the DevSecOps approach, which emphasizes the integration of security practices throughout the software development lifecycle. 🔄

• Approach 'Shift Left': Discover why moving security concerns to the early stages of development can save time and resources in the long run.

• Docker Security: Learn about securing containerized environments, a critical aspect in today's microservices architectures. 🐉
