Omni Certified Application Security Engineer (CASE) JAVA Training

The CASE certified training program is developed concurrently to prepare software professionals with the necessary capabilities that are expected by employers and academia globally.It is designed to be a hands-on, comprehensive application security course that will help software professionals create secure applications. The training program encompasses security activities involved in all phases of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC): planning, creating, testing, and deploying an application.

Course Key Learnings:

• Understand secure SDLC and secure SDLC models in-depth
• Apply the knowledge of OWASP Top 10, threat modelling, SAST and DAST
• Capture security requirements of an application in development
• Define, maintain and enforce application security best practices
• Perform manual and automated code review of application
• Conduct application security testing for web applications to assess the vulnerabilities
• Drive the development of a holistic application security program
• Rate the severity of defects and publishing comprehensive reports detailing associated risks and mitigations
• Work in teams to improve security posture
• Use Application security scanning technologies such as AppScan, Fortify, WebInspect, static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), single sign-on, and encryption
• Follow secure coding standards that are based on industry-accepted best practices such as OWASP Guide, or CERT Secure Coding to address common coding vulnerabilities.
• Create a software source code review process that is a part of the development cycles (SDLC, Agile, CI/CD)
