Secure Programming Foundation

Master the fundamentals of secure programming and start building software that's secure by design.

Security is no longer optional — it's a core developer skill. In this course, the latest OWASP Top 10 serves as your practical roadmap to understanding and preventing today's most critical web application risks. Not theory for auditors, but knowledge you can immediately apply in your own code.
You'll go beyond the checklist and truly understand why vulnerabilities happen. We take focused deep dives into essential topics like SOP, CORS, cookies, STRIDE (a lightweight threat modeling method), input handling, and cryptography. Every concept is translated into concrete coding and design decisions you can implement the next day.
Expect live demos and hands-on labs in simple JavaScript so you don't just hear about security — you practice it. While many examples are web-based, the principles you'll learn apply to any language or framework. Secure thinking is universal.
Target audience:
This course is designed for developers who want to:
- strengthen and update their secure programming skills
- recognize and prevent common vulnerabilities
- grow from "it works" to "it's secure and works"

- Recognize security risks in common contexts and demonstrate awareness. [Remem…
