Overview
The Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) certification speaks for the certification holder’s knowledge and skills to effectively design, develop and implement security practices within each phase of the software development lifecycle.
This training focuses on the key concepts of all the eight domains evaluated by the certification exam for earning the CSSLP certification. The training provides a comprehensive review of the knowledge and skills required to incorporate security practices – authentication, authorization and auditing – into each phase of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), from software design and implementation to testing and deployment.
