This course is primarily designed for Backend Developers, in order for them to discover their secret power on IT Security! As developers are actually the key players in security! By learning secure coding techniques against most common Backend vulnerabilities, developers have a chance to prevent most of hackings or compromises from happening in the first place!
From Junior to Seniors, this course is for all the developers/programmers! Solution architects and Security architects will also definitely benefit from the course as the course briefly covers how to automate everything described and valuable advices for integrating this automation into your CI/CD enviroument
Secure coding will also help you to lower the cost&time to mitigate security incidents! More secure the code, fewer security incidents at the further stages of the development!
The course will teach you:
Explanation of all of popular Backend security incidents from hackers’ point of view!
How to remediate each of them in the code!
Advices on Automating everything via SAST and its CI/CD integrations, a.k.a working in a DevSecOps model.
Back-end development references a client server architecture common in ecommerce. Client side tends to have a strong user interface skill and the server side a strong API skill. But they overlap.
A backend developer could just be focused on a database and providing an API to it or on a server language like PHP and those mentioned so far and provide an API to it. Their work would need to be accessible to many other back end applications such as the database developer example and more to many front end applications. For example today many web backends service not only desktop and mobile web front ends but also device apps and even desktop apps. So the back end developer will not know how all of those front ends work but provide a server side interface such as a REST interface for those multiple front end technologies to access such as a login. Server developer can also make user interfaces that are probably less robust for administrative access to their code, functionality and data.
