CSSLP 2024: Secure Software Concepts

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Understanding secure software concepts is crucial for the CSSLP exam as it ensures professionals can design, implement, and manage secure software systems. In this course, you will explore the fundamental principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Then, you will discover the core concepts of authentication, authorization, and accountability, learning how to verify identities, control access, and ensure actions are traceable. Next, you will investigate various threats to confidentiality, including social engineering and malware, as well as common misconfigurations and software vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of secure coding practices and regular security assessments to mitigate these risks. You will examine techniques to enhance confidentiality through encryption and access controls, ensuring data protection both at rest and in transit. Finally, you will focus on advanced authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), certificate-based authentication, and single sign-on (SSO) and you will learn about federated identity protocols, which provide secure and seamless access across multiple systems and organizations. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
