Understand the top security risks in software security and reduce development cycle times and very costly mistakes

Software systems today confront a greatly increased level of security risk.  As network security defenses have matured, the intruder community has refocused its efforts onto targeting software and firmware applications directly.

Despite sophisticated development methodologies, most software is developed on the basis of practices and standards that are not well attuned to meeting these increased security requirements.  As a result, the rate of security vulnerabilities in software products and embedded systems is rising rapidly.  Software developers and their managers generally do not have an educational background in secure software architecture, secure software implementation practices, software security testing, or any of the other security-sensitive processes at each stage of the software development lifecycle.  Attempt to bootstrap to a high level of capability in secure software development is arduous and time-consuming.

TELUS Software Security Awareness training helps developers and architects understand the requirements of software security. The training translates security best practices into a results-oriented method that could save time and effort in software security implementation.
