CSSLP 2024: Databases & Programming Language Environments

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Python, Java, and .NET all have elaborate security features built into their runtimes, and so do database and data warehouse technologies we use every day. In this course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of database security, including the role of encryption and how triggers can automate threat responses. Explore the uses of views in controlling data access and examine secure programming language environments. Analyze security features in the .NET CLR and the JRE, focusing on ASLR, DEP, type checking, and memory security. Then, contrast these with Python and PowerShell and learn about critical security controls in OS kernels, modes of execution, and virtual memory management. Next, discover threat modeling, STRIDE, spoofing, tampering, and the PASTA approach. Learn about attack trees, secure architectural design patterns, security design verification methods, as well as simulations and boundary value analysis. Finally, you’ll define non-functional security requirements and discuss CI/CD Pipelines in secure deployment. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
