About This Course

As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations need to ensure that their software solutions are designed with security in mind from the ground up. This course equips professionals with the knowledge and skills required to create security-focused solutions that address potential vulnerabilities and build user trust. Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of Security by Design concepts, learning to incorporate them into every stage of the software development lifecycle — from requirements and architecture through implementation and deployment.

What You Will Learn

  • Apply core principles of secure software design including defense in depth and least privilege
  • Build threat models using STRIDE and attack tree methodologies
  • Implement secure architecture patterns: zero trust, encryption at rest and in transit
  • Prevent OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities through secure coding patterns
  • Design secure deployment pipelines with container security and secrets management

Prerequisites

  • Experience with software development (any language or framework)
  • Basic understanding of web application architecture
  • No prior security engineering experience required
