The Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) certification, offered by ISC², is designed for software developers, application security engineers, DevSecOps professionals, and security architects who are responsible for integrating security throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). This course aligns with the official ISC² CSSLP exam objectives and focuses on secure coding practices, threat modeling, vulnerability mitigation, and compliance requirements to ensure that security is embedded in every stage of the development process.

With the rise of cloud-native apps, APIs, containers, and DevOps pipelines, securing software has never been more critical. The CSSLP equips you with the knowledge to design, develop, test, and deploy secure applications while protecting against modern threats such as supply chain attacks, zero-day exploits, and insecure code injection.

Key topics include:

• Secure software concepts: principles of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and secure design

• Requirements & threat modeling: identifying risks early and integrating security requirements

• Secure software architecture & design: selecting frameworks and security patterns

• Implementation & secure coding practices: mitigating vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and buffer overflows

• Software testing & validation: static and dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and secure test strategies

• Deployment & operations security: securing cloud-based, containerized, and microservices environments

• Supply chain security: managing third-party libraries, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines

• Governance & compliance: ensuring adherence to OWASP, ISO 27034, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS
