Course Overview
Code review is a critical step in identifying vulnerabilities before applications are deployed. Secure code review helps teams detect security issues early, reduce risk, and improve overall software quality.
This mentor-led programme introduces practical approaches to Secure Code Review, focusing on identifying common vulnerability patterns and analysing security findings. The course helps learners understand how to review code effectively from a security perspective.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners explore how to detect vulnerabilities, document findings, and communicate risks clearly to development teams. By the end of the course, participants will be able to perform structured and effective secure code reviews.
