Secure Software Development Series Course Three

Secure Software Design examines security early in the development process. This introductory course is for beginners seeking a foundation in how software design decisions relate to security.

The course considers why secure design matters and how an attack surface is evaluated. Threat models and attack trees provide ways to examine possible threats, while secure design review connects that analysis with reviewing a proposed system.

Consider risk and architecture together

Risk management and defining security architecture extend the coverage. Whiteboard discussions, a module review and review questions help bring the concepts together.

This is conceptual training without programming exercises or hands-on labs. It is the design installment in the Secure Software Development Fundamentals series and can provide context for further study of requirements, implementation and testing.

Adapt for secure-design education

A PLR license lets you modify, rebrand and resell the course. A software educator could use it within an introductory security curriculum or alongside their own practical examples. Keep the conceptual scope clear and identify any additional series installments in your offer separately.
