Course Overview
Security must be embedded early in the software development lifecycle to reduce vulnerabilities and improve resilience. Organisations are increasingly adopting structured Secure SDLC practices to ensure applications are designed, built, and maintained securely.
This mentor-led programme introduces the principles of Secure SDLC, focusing on integrating security processes, defining stage gates, and establishing secure requirements. The course helps teams shift security left and build security into every phase of development.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners explore how to define security checkpoints, implement governance controls, and align development workflows with security requirements. By the end of the course, participants will understand how to embed security into development processes effectively.
