COURSE OVERVIEW

This comprehensive four-day Secure Coding in .NET: Applications Training (ASP.NET/C#/VB.NET)  Seminar is designed to educate professional programmers on the skills necessary to develop and deploy secure applications. You will learn about potential security issues through concrete, hands-on examples of vulnerable code.

You’ll learn which poor programming practices lead to vulnerable code, how to code securely, and how to maintain secure development practices throughout the development life cycle. You’ll sharpen skills and gain experience in applying secure design and implementation principles through demonstrations of building, testing, and securing real-world applications. You’ll also be given the opportunity to participate in securing and testing applications through a progression of “challenge scenarios” alternating assignments as “attackers” and “defenders” of applications.
