CSC is the Comprehensive Certification for Validating Secure Coding Practices - for all developers, in all programming languages, on all platforms.
In today’s digital world, companies and end users alike are using applications to access and interact with their data on a daily basis. To keep up with the demand for constant connectivity, organizations are purchasing and developing applications at an impressive rate – but they are not always designed to defend against the ever-evolving threat landscape. Cyber Secure Coder is designed to validate the knowledge and skills required to design and develop protected applications, regardless of the language used for development or the platform on which they will be deployed. An updated version of Cyber Secure Coder is coming soon! See more details below.
