Cyber Secure Coder

CertNexus Cyber Secure Coder™ (CSC) is the comprehensive certification for validating secure coding practices – for all developers, in all programming languages, on all platforms.

  • Duration: 3 days
  • Level: Intermediate

Why Get Cyber Secure Coding Certified?

Developers are tasked with ensuring that the software that they create includes coding that results in protected applications.
Specialists holding the Cyber Secure Coder certification have proven that they can follow safe practices throughout the creative process.

PROVE YOUR SKILLS

Validate that you can identify security vulnerabilities and remediate them throughout all of the phases of software development, from conception through to final product.

LEAD SECURITY KNOWLEDGEABLE CODING EXPERTS

Requiring that team members and applicants hold the Cyber Secure Coder certification ensures that they apply an approach that eliminates vulnerabilities and maintains secure software from initial design through to and after implementation

Benefits of Strong Cybersecurity in Coding

Building strong cybersecurity practices throughout the entire coding process has many benefits. Waiting until the final testing phase to find and remediate issues can be costly and lead to missed deadlines as well as a bad reputation.
Building protective measures into the entire development process avoids these pitfalls while also addressing privacy issues.
