Overview
The vast majority of hacks are not due to insecure networks or misconfigured firewalls; they are a result of common software flaws that get coded into applications. Even with good information security policy and staff, the reality is that software developers are often underserved when it comes to security strategy. If their applications get built without attention to good software security practices, the risk gets passed downstream and by the time an incident occurs, it’s too late to be proactive. From proactive requirements to coding and testing, this information security training course covers the best practices any software developer needs to avoid opening up their users, customers, and organization to attack at the application layer. We teach only constantly updated best practices, and our experts answer your questions live in class. Return to work ready to build higher quality, more robustly protected applications.

Brandon was a great instructor. The virtual course materials and labs provided were very informative.
You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.
Class was very informative, although one lab didnt but will try again later
Both course material and instructor demonstrated a sound foundation on Maximo material
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
