    Security Awareness for Developers

    Security awareness training for developers focused on secure coding principles, common vulnerabilities, and attacker techniques so security is built in from the start.

    Security-First Development Mindset

    Developers are at the foundation of the applications attackers actively analyse and attempt to exploit. This training does not start from rules or compliance requirements, but from how real-world attacks actually work. By understanding how vulnerabilities emerge, developers learn how to prevent them structurally.

    The focus is on secure fundamentals, common mistakes, and how attackers combine them into effective attack paths. Topics include input validation, authentication, authorisation, session management, and secure data handling across traditional web applications as well as modern API and cloud environments.

    We cover the OWASP Top 10 not as a checklist, but as a practical framework to correctly assess risk. Attack techniques are explained step by step, making it clear why certain coding or architectural choices are safe or introduce risk.

    The goal is a security-first mindset: security built into development from the start, rather than patched afterwards. This reduces structural risk, speeds up releases, and prevents recurring vulnerabilities in production.

    Why Developer Security Awareness Matters

    Shift Left Security

    Security-aware developers catch vulnerabilities during development, not in production.

    Reduced Vulnerabilities

    Understanding attacks helps developers avoid introducing common weaknesses.

    Secure by Design

    Security becomes part of the development process, not an afterthought.
