Security Innovation releases specialized secure coding courses

Wilmington, MA – February 10, 2021, – Security Innovation, an authority in software security assessments and training, has expanded its CMD+CTRL blended training platform to include 7 new courses that empower development teams to mitigate language-specific threats. This brings the total count of the industry’s largest software security library to over 200 interactive courses.

“ The IT threatscape is ever-changing and hackers are continually finding new ways to exploit both emerging and legacy technologies,” said Lisa Parcella, VP of Product Management & Marketing. “ To keep customers armed with the latest attack & defend knowledge, we are committed to updating and releasing new courses every quarter” she continued.

While CMD+CTRL training focuses on all those that build, operate, and defend software, this quarter’s release is aimed at helping developers defend against new exploit techniques and protect data in a variety of languages and platforms. New courses include:

Java Application Server Hardening
Preventing Vulnerabilities in iOS Code in Swift
Preventing Vulnerabilities in Android Code in Java
Protecting C# from XML Injection
Protecting Java from Information Disclosure
Preventing Race Conditions in Java Code
Preventing Integer Overflows in Java Code

Additional program improvements include enhanced coding interactions that make it easier to distill complex topics and commit knowledge to memory and tighter alignment to the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce framework.

To provide more timely and relative guidance to developers, the company updated the following modules:

COD 255 Creating Secure Code – Web API Foundations
COD 302 Secure C Memory Management
COD 303 Common C Vulnerabilities and Attacks
COD 317 Protecting Data on iOS in Swift
COD 318 Protecting Data on Android Java
COD 322 Protecting C# from SQLi
COD 323 Using encryption with C#
COD 380 Preventing SQLi in Java
COD 381 Preventing Path Traversal Attacks in Java

Looking ahead
Security Innovation continually evaluates ways to improve breadth and depth of content, align courses to industry standards, and uncover more effective ways to reach learners. 2021 will feature in-context IDE coding challenges, hands-on vulnerability assessment learning labs, scenario-based interactions, digital badging, a robust cybersecurity workforce planning tool utilizing the NICE framework, and continued expansion into exploitation and defense techniques with a focus on the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework.
