Information Risk Management Case Study: Secure Application Development Training

Application layer vulnerabilities manifest themselves as a result of a lack of a Security Aware Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), or simply poorly-written code. Since attackers have shifted focus from network based attacks to exploiting vulnerable applications, it is imperative that organisations introduce processes and controls to minimise the occurrence of code-level security defects. IRM's secure application development training programmes provide comprehensive coverage of application vulnerabilities at the code level by giving real life examples using an interactive training system. Issues are communicated to developers using their favourite development platforms such as .NET and Java. As a result, IRM's training programmes will help developers understand issues affecting their code, enabling them to be more security aware, both at code and process levels.
