Course Overview
Modern applications are a primary target for cyber threats, requiring security to be embedded throughout the development lifecycle. Organisations must identify risks early and implement secure design and testing practices to reduce vulnerabilities.
This mentor-led programme focuses on practical application security engineering, including Secure by Design and risk-driven development approaches. The course explores how to discover application risks, integrate security testing into workflows, and deliver effective remediation guidance to development teams.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners explore how to perform application risk discovery, implement security testing techniques, and prioritise fixes. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to apply security practices across the software development lifecycle.
