Application Security (CASE)
The C|ASE credential tests the critical security skills and knowledge required throughout a typical software development life cycle (SDLC), focusing on the importance of the implementation of secure methodologies and practices in today’s insecure operating environment.
The C|ASE certified training program is developed concurrently to prepare software professionals with the necessary capabilities that are expected by employers and academia globally. It is designed to be a hands-on, comprehensive application security course that will help software professionals create secure applications.
Unlike other application security trainings, C|ASE goes beyond just the guidelines on secure coding practices and includes secure requirement gathering, robust application design, and handling security issues in post development phases of application development.
Why Application Security
1. To ensure that application security is no longer an afterthought but a foremost one.
2. To lay the foundation required by all application developers and development organizations, to produce secure applications with greater stability and fewer security risks to the consumer, therefore, making security a foremost thought.
3. To ensure that the organizations mitigate the risk of losing millions due to security compromises that may arise with every step of application development process.
4. To help individuals develop the habit of giving importance to security sacrosanct of their job role in the SDLC, therefore opening security as the main domain for testers, developers, network administrator etc.
Program Information
Security Risk is Not Limited to Web Application
Many globally-recognizable retail outlets have dealt with enormous data breaches recently because they ignored application security.
Billion-dollar companies with global footprints have faced massive data leakage, including their customers’ and employees’ personal and financial information, because their applications were faulty.
Retail giants like Forever 21, GameStop, Panera Bread, Sonic, KMart, and Hudson Bay (Saks Fifth Avenue) are a few on the list of retailers with thousands of outlets that used POS machines or payment gateways that allegedly resulted in information theft. There are many more modern, digital platforms like Uber, Yahoo, Dropbox, Adobe, LinkedIn, and Tumblr who also faced similar breaches, owing to the same reason: lack of application security.
