Secure Coding for Application Development

About this course

The Secure Coding for Application Development Specialization equips learners with the skills to design, build, and maintain secure applications across modern software environments. It integrates secure coding principles, Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC), OWASP-based vulnerability analysis, and static code analysis tools into a unified learning path. Across three courses, learners begin with secure coding fundamentals, software risk management, and Linux-based security analysis, then progress to understanding OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and real-world web attack patterns. Finally, they apply static code analysis using SonarQube and SonarLint to detect and remediate vulnerabilities early in development. The specialization emphasizes DevSecOps practices, automation, and continuous security monitoring, preparing learners to build secure, maintainable, and production-ready applications. By the end, learners can confidently identify vulnerabilities, apply mitigation strategies, and integrate security into development workflows.
