Training overview
Infosec’s CSSLP Boot camp teaches you how to incorporate security practices throughout the software development lifecycle. You’ll learn key policies, procedures and best practices related to secure software development and how to incorporate them into each phase of the development lifecycle.
You’ll leave fully prepared to earn your CSSLP certification and prove to employers that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to implement secure software development and help mitigate cyber threats.
What you'll learn
- Secure software concepts — Core concepts and secure design principles for controlling the behavior, use and content of the system
- Secure software requirements — Capturing functional and non-functional security requirements in the requirements gathering phase
- Secure software architecture and design — Translating security requirements into application design elements
- Secure software implementation — Applying secure coding and testing standards and tools to avoid introducing security vulnerabilities
- Secure software testing — Testing for security functionality and resiliency to attack
- Secure software lifecycle management — Strengthening the overall security posture of the software
- Secure software deployment, operations, maintenance — Security issues around steady-state operations and management of software
- Secure software supply chain — Provides a holistic outline of the knowledge and tasks required in managing risk for outsourced development, acquisition and procurement of software and related services
Who should attend
- Software developers
- Software architects
- Software engineers
- Application security specialists
- Penetration testers
- Project managers
- Anyone involved in the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
Prerequisites
In order to obtain the CSSLP certification, you must have:
- At least four years of professional Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) experience
- A work history reflecting direct experience in at least one of the eight domains listed in the (ISC)² CSSLP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK)
However, you can become an Associate of (ISC)² by passing the exam without the required work experience.
