COD 110 - Fundamentals Secure Mobile Development
This course introduces developers to the common risks associated with Mobile applications including client side injection, sensitive data handling, network transition, application patching, web based attacks, phishing, third-party code, location security and privacy and denial of service. The student is then given an overview of the Mobile application development best practices to reduce these risks including input validation, output encoding, least privilege, code signing, data protection at rest and in transit, avoiding client side validation, and using platform security capabilities as they apply in mobile environments. Included is a discussion of threat modeling mobile applications. With knowledge checks throughout, the student who completes this course will have an understanding of mobile environment threats and risks, and the programming principals to use to address them.
COD 351 - Creating Secure HTML5 Code
This course examines in depth the development of secure HTML5 code. It provides an overview of common HTML5 application vulnerabilities and threats, and presents secure coding best-practices. Upon completion of this class, participants will be able to identify ways in which the expanded attack surface introduced with HTML5 might impact your web applications. Participants will also be able to identify new security features available with HTML5, as well as countermeasures and best practices to mitigate the application’s exposure to attack.
To launch the new Access Anywhere training platform, Security Innovation is hosting a complimentary webinar: HTML5 – The Promise & The Peril on Wednesday, July 12th at 1:00pm EDT.
