What you will learn

Understand the core concepts of security, including encoding, encryption, and serialization

Recognize the importance of version control in maintaining secure software development and managing sensitive information

Apply secure coding practices, such as mitigating reflection attacks, handling data types securely, and avoiding custom encryption implementations

Effectively store and protect data using techniques such as hashing, salting, and transparent data encryption

Identify and prevent common attacks as outlined in the OWASP Top Ten for 2021, including broken access control, cryptographic failures, and injection attacks

Gain familiarity with security tools, such as OWASP ZAP, and the value of penetration testing for assessing application security

Develop a comprehensive understanding of security logging, monitoring, and best practices for secure software design and data integrity

Why take this course?

Principles of Secure Coding offers a comprehensive exploration of secure coding practices, emphasizing the importance of incorporating security throughout the entire development process. This course will equip you with the skills and mindset necessary to protect your applications against potential threats, setting you on the path towards developing robust and resilient software.

Dive into essential security concepts such as authentication, authorization, encryption, and encoding. Learn the importance of version control and best practices for maintaining sensitive information. Engage with real-life and fictional security horror stories, including an exclusive tale from YouTube sensation Tom Scott, to gain insight into the potential consequences of insecure coding.

Explore secure coding techniques using C# as our primary language while emphasizing broader applicability to other programming languages. Delve into methods for safeguarding data, preventing information leaks, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Develop an understanding of security testing and code review processes to ensure your applications remain secure and compliant.

To conclude the course, we'll investigate the OWASP Top Ten security risks for 2021, enabling you to recognize and address recurring security issues. By diving deep into these prevalent concerns, you'll gain invaluable insight into the mindset and thought processes that often lead to security problems.

Generally solid content, but full 5 stars just for Alice's story to drive home the responsibility developers/tech persons have regarding securing data.

Way too long winded. I lose focus after 2 mins of listening because the instructor wants to tell random stories. Get to the main points.

Great course, shed some light on questions I've had myself. Very good explanations on vulnerabilities and how to overcome.

I was auditing this course to judge its appropriateness to assign to our new/jr. developers as part of our onboarding process - it is a perfect level of detail that's not too dense but wouldn't insult the experience of a software developer.

it's a great course. i enjoyed it. the only issue i have with it is that it tells you that binary serialization is inherently bad or that it could allow for ACE which is just not the case. That all depends on how it gets deserialized and it is irrelevant to whether the format is binary or JSON or whatever.

Very engaging speaker who makes even the parts I know well interesting. I assumed I would skip those parts, but he makes the topics interesting anyway, and provides nuances that I'm still learning something new.

Good explanations without details 'in the weeds'. Nice to associate real world examples that resulted from insecure/relaxed coding. Additional links/reference to other examples and information for those interested in knowing more than the level at which this course was intended.

Good content, really enjoy Mr Behrens teaching style & anecdotes. Having a C# .NET background myself also makes the code examples very useful.

Excellent course, great material delivered through an experience prism of an author, multiplied by a great presentation skills. Would be useful not only for developers, but for other related roles as well.

Good, but not sure I agree on everything. And after all, a bit hard to grasp the C# things if your experience is Java

Very thorough and manages to cover a wide range of important information without becoming uninteresting.

Great course no crud, detailed but well explained without being verbose enough real life examples to aid context Good summaries and additional resource links

A very good overview course that also goes into sufficient depth on the subject to give you an idea of what you can do and consider yourself to increase security. In addition, the course is enriched with some interesting security incidents that have actually happened in order to clarify what has already happened, what the cause was and what could have been done about it.

The course is good but bit more specific to an individual (.net) technology, but can't help much as you need a technology to be specific while illustrating the case and resolution.

seems good, engaging, human, giving examples and actually using tech. Code examples are bit hard to follow if you don't use C#.
