Secure Software Development: Verification and More Specialized Topics (LFD106x)

Learn the security basics to develop software that is hardened against attacks, and understand how you can reduce the damage and speed the response when a vulnerability is exploited. This course is designed to show you how to verify software for security, and gives you the chance to take a deeper dive into the basics of applying threat models and cryptography.

Who Is It For
Geared towards software developers, DevOps professionals, software engineers, web application developers, and others interested in learning how to develop secure software, this course focuses on practical steps that can be taken, even with limited resources, to improve information security.

A good fit for a working professional. I could pick it up when I had a free moment, before or after work.

I really liked the vulnerability ranking that would be listed at the bottom of a page, if a vulnerability was mentioned. I can really focus on education when I can see the real-world meaning of it, and seeing how the vulnerabilities discussed are impactful enough to be on lists, really showed me how important they were, and gave me the motivation to keep learning!
