Learn and experience intermediate and advanced techniques that systems and applications programmers can use to write new code securely, as well as to find and mitigate vulnerabilities in existing code.
Case Study:
A company may have millions of lines of existing code, and tens of millions of dollars of investment in their business based on those lines of code. It is not reasonable to expect that the applications that those millions of lines of code support can be redesigned securely from scratch in a cost-effective fashion. In this course, in addition to covering threats to legacy code, we focus on discussing tools and techniques that can be used to secure large amounts of legacy code. Our case study will demonstrate how to use off-the-shelf tools to secure an existing, large enterprise application.
