Overview
The Certified Application Security Engineer (CASE) focuses on secure application software development processes. It is a hands-on, comprehensive application security course that will help you create secure application software. This course encompasses security activities involved in all phases of the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC): planning, creating, testing, and deploying an application.
Unlike other application security training, CASE goes beyond just the guidelines on secure coding practices to include secure requirement gathering, robust application design, and handling security issues in post-development phases of application development.
Prerequisites
Participants who wish to take up CASE.NET must be well-versed with basic programming skills.
Who Should Attend?
