Secure Coding in C amp; C++

lt;pgt;This training course offers a blended learning experience combining the lt;a href="https://www.qa.com/qaavatao/"gt;Avataolt;/agt; platform with specialist content from our world-renowned Secure Coding partner Scademy.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;To put it bluntly, writing C/C++ code can be a minefield for reasons ranging from memory management or dealing with legacy code to sharp deadlines and code maintainability. Yet, beyond all that, what if we told you that attackers were trying to break into your code right now? How likely would they be to succeed?lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;This course will change the way you look at your C/C++ code. Weamp;#39;ll teach you the common weaknesses and their consequences that can allow hackers to attack your system, and amp;ndash; more importantly amp;ndash; best practices you can apply to protect yourself. We give you a holistic view on C/C++ programming mistakes and their countermeasures from the machine code level to virtual functions and OS memory management. We present the entire course through live practical exercises to keep it engaging and fun.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;Writing secure code will give you a distinct edge over your competitors. It is your choice to be ahead of the pack amp;ndash; take a step and be a game-changer in the fight against cybercrime.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt; lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;Topics include:lt;/pgt;lt;ulgt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;IT security and secure codinglt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;x86 machine code, memory layout and stack operationslt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;Buffer overflowlt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;Practical cryptographylt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;Security protocolslt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;XML securitylt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;Common coding errors and vulnerabilitieslt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;Principles of security and secure codinglt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;ligt;lt;pgt;Knowledge sourceslt;/pgt;lt;/ligt;lt;/ulgt;lt;pgt; lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;Learners get two weeks access to the Avatao platform to practice what they have learnt in the classroom.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt; lt;/pgt;
