This three-day course delves into the fundamentals of safeguarding C/C++ code from malicious users who could exploit various vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. It also emphasizes the principles of developing secure code.

Even seasoned Java developers may not fully grasp the diverse security features provided by Java, nor are they always informed about the various vulnerabilities pertinent to web applications developed in Java.

This course – while introducing the security aspects of Standard Java Edition – also addresses the security concerns related to Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. It begins with an overview of cryptography and secure communication before delving into specific security services. Exercises focus on both declarative and programmatic security methods in JEE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will engage in practical exercises to explore the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and elucidates common and critical programming errors associated with the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. It covers both typical mistakes made by Java developers and broader issues related to the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and its corresponding attacks are illustrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding practices and mitigation strategies.

Participants in this course will

• Gain a foundational understanding of security principles, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten list and how to prevent them
• Acquire knowledge on the security aspects of Web services
• Master various security features within the Java development environment
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand security solutions in Java EE
• Be informed about typical coding errors and how to avoid them
• Stay updated on recent vulnerabilities in the Java framework
• Aquire hands-on experience with security testing tools
• Receive resources for further reading on secure coding practices

Description

The Java language and its Runtime Environment (JRE) were crafted to avoid the most common security issues found in other languages, such as C/C++. However, software developers and architects must not only be proficient with the various security features of the Java environment (positive security), but also be knowledgeable about the vulnerabilities that still affect Java development (negative security).

Before delving into security services, a brief overview of cryptography fundamentals is provided to establish a common understanding of the purpose and operation of relevant components. Participants will have hands-on experience with these components through several practical exercises where they can test out the discussed APIs.

The course also examines and explains the most frequent and serious programming flaws in Java language and platform, covering both typical errors made by Java programmers and issues specific to the language and environment. All vulnerabilities and related attacks are demonstrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices
• Acquire knowledge of Web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn how to prevent them
• Master the use of various security features in the Java development environment
• Gain practical insights into cryptography
• Be informed about common coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Stay updated on recent vulnerabilities within the Java framework
• Receive resources and additional readings for secure coding practices

The integrated SDL core training offers an in-depth look into the principles of secure software design, development, and testing using Microsoft's Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL). It begins with a foundational overview of SDL components at level 100, followed by practical techniques for identifying and resolving issues early in the development process.

During the development phase, the course covers common security-related programming errors in both managed and native code. Attack methods are demonstrated alongside mitigation strategies, all illustrated through interactive exercises that provide a hands-on hacking experience for participants. The training also introduces various security testing approaches and showcases the effectiveness of different testing tools. Participants will gain an understanding of these tools through practical applications to previously discussed vulnerable code.

Participants in this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices
• Become familiar with the key stages of Microsoft's Secure Development Lifecycle
• Acquire knowledge on secure design and development methodologies
