LinkedIn – Programming Foundations: Secure Coding 2025-6

Programming Foundations: Secure Coding. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to secure development practices across various aspects of software development. Security architect Frank Molly begins by teaching risk analysis and identifying potential threats. He then examines the most common vulnerabilities in programming, including issues related to client and server, web development, and embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT). He then explains the basics of cryptography, its importance in security, and common mistakes in its implementation. The course concludes by providing security solutions for each stage of the software development life cycle (SDLC), from design to deployment and maintenance. Course topics include threat modeling, fault management, database security, authentication, access control, and security in containerized environments. This course is designed for developers who want to build attack-resistant software.
