53 minutes

Course description

In this course, we will walk through what it means to be secure by design. This starts with the SDLC. If we do not begin with security we do not end with security. Building your application with security built in will lay the groundwork required to have a secure app with a long life. We also review three key areas that must be thought through and designed for when building the application: IAM, encryption and compliance.
