Does finding security bugs, hacking software, and breaking into applications and databases sound exciting? Do you need to secure technologies and build resilient software? If yes, then the software security testing path is for you.
This course teaches you the necessary security testing skills to conduct professional security assessments in various approaches. As you progress through the course, you will learn the core tenets of software security, build up your own personal security testing lab environment, identify and exploit vulnerabilities, break contemporary security systems, utilize world-famous tools and approaches, and confidently communicate findings to all stakeholders.
Upon completion, you will have the foundational knowledge and skills to carry out multiple types of security assessments including penetration testing, security auditing, and code analysis in order to help build secure and resilient software throughout the SLDC.
By the end of the course, you will be able to master industry standards and carry out professional assessments to secure technologies, as well as communicate risks to high-level executives, management, and technical staff.
