| Objectives |
Participants will acquire an understanding of the most widely found security vulnerabilities in code and their causes. They will be aware of their problem scope, how to identify threats and the characteristics of common attack vectors. As practical abilities they will learn is finding and fixing insecure code, specifically eliminating those common vulnerabilities, as well as preventing future problems and avoid coding pitfalls. They will have an understanding of secure software development processes and know how to test code for security.
