Secure coding practices are proven to reduce the number of vulnerabilities introduced. However, not all developers are well versed in security. There is a lot of training material available but it often takes hours of reading to get a good understanding. While trying to mitigate a potential vulnerability, developers are looking for information that is actionable and specific to the programming language they are using.
In this session, we will look at our new training offering - ShiftLeft Educate. See how developers can get context-sensitive information on vulnerabilities and potential mitigations and also see how security training can be rolled out and managed across an entire engineering organization.
You’ve heard it before: it’s time to get serious about security. Cyber threats aren’t slowing down, which means security must become a critical part of your job as a developer. But it’s not always easy to fix your code during or after release to production, especially when you have to stop and search for knowledge resources. That’s where secure coding best practices and fine-tuned training meet to set you up for success.
In part one of this two-part guide, we broke down best practices like parameterizing your queries to avoid SQL injection and encoding your data to address the three main classes of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). For part two, we’re diving into five additional tips and best practices, from protecting data to leveraging existing frameworks securely.
Nearly every major company is redefining themselves as a software or technology company, and leaders are making cybersecurity one of their top priorities with a particular focus on workforce development. A growing number of bootcamps and programs are providing modern approaches to practical skills training, such as hands-on learning via simulated environments. This Refcard provides a brief overview and history of Cyber Ranges and quick examples of techniques to use on a live-action website.
