What you will learn
Any application that processes or stores credit card data needs to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Developers should be aware of PCI DSS and understand how to design for and maintain continuous compliance. This path equips participants with a foundational understanding of the PCI DSS framework, as well as providing a deep dive into the applicable PCI DSS requirements that apply to software design, development and testing; some known security vulnerabilities; and code review techniques to assess the adequacy of security controls.
