The Certified Application Security Engineer (CASE) credential is developed in partnership with large application and software development experts globally.

The CASE credential tests the critical security skills and knowledge required throughout a typical software development life cycle (SDLC), focusing on the importance of the implementation of secure methodologies and practices in today's insecure operating environment.

The CASE certified training program is developed concurrently to prepare software professionals with the necessary capabilities that are expected by employers and academia globally.It is designed to be a hands-on, comprehensive application security course that will help software professionals create secure applications.

The training program encompasses security activities involved in all phases of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC): planning, creating, testing, and deploying an application.

Unlike other application security trainings, CASE goes beyond just the guidelines on secure coding practices and includes secure requirement gathering, robust application design, and handling security issues in post development phases of application development.

This makes CASE one of the most comprehensive certifications on the market today. It is desired by software application engineers, analysts, testers globally, and respected by hiring authorities.

The Purpose of CASE Is

To ensure that application security is no longer an afterthought but a foremost one.

To lay the foundation required by all application developers and development organizations, to produce secure applications with greater stability and fewer security risks to the consumer, therefore, making security a foremost thought.

To ensure that the organizations mitigate the risk of losing millions due to security compromises that may arise with every step of application development process.

To help individuals develop the habit of giving importance to security sacrosanct of their job role in the SDLC, therefore opening security as the main domain for testers, developers, network administrator etc.

Secure Software Development Process

The Certified Application Security Engineer (CASE) training and certification program provides a comprehensive application security approach which encompasses security activities involved in all the phases of Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

For most organizations, software and applications determine their success. However, expedition, duplication, and penny-pinching often take centrestage with security consideration taking a backseat or is not present at all. An insecure or vulnerable application places these businesses at risk.

Addressing security in each phase of the SDLC is the most effective way to create highly secure applications. Robust security-focused design principles followed by rigorous security-focused coding, testing, and deployment practices will lead to applications that can stand up to attacks. This will result in lower ownership costs for both, the end user and the application vendor.

What You Will Learn

In-depth understanding of secure SDLC and secure SDLC models

Knowledge of OWASP Top 10, threat modelling, SAST and DAST

Capturing security requirements of an application in development

Defining, maintaining, and enforcing application security best practices

Performing manual and automated code review of application

Conducting application security testing for web applications to assess the vulnerabilities

Driving development of a holistic application security program

Rating the severity of defects and publishing comprehensive reports detailing associated risks and mitigations

Working in teams to improve security posture

Application security scanning technologies such as AppScan, Fortify, WebInspect, static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), single sign-on, and encryption

Following secure coding standards that are based on industry-accepted best practices such as OWASP Guide, or CERT Secure Coding to address common coding vulnerabilities.

Creating a software source code review process that is a part of the development cycles (SDLC, Agile, CI/CD)

Why Become a Certified Application Security Engineer

Immediate Credibility: The CASE program affirms that you are indeed an expert in application security. It also demonstrates the skills that you possess for employers globally.

Pertinent Knowledge: Through the CASE certification and training program, you will be able to expand your application security knowledge.

Multifaceted Skills: CASE can be applied to a wide variety of platforms, such as, mobile applications, web applications, IoT devices, and many more.

A Holistic Outlook: Ranging from pre-deployment to post-deployment security techniques, covering every aspect of secure - software development life cycle, CASE arms you with the necessary skills to build a secure application.

Better Protect and Defend: By making an application more secure you are also helping defend both organizations and individuals globally. As a CASE, it is in your hands to protect and defend and ultimately help build a safer world.

The .Net framework has increased in popularity because of its open source nature, interoperability, language independence, library of codes and ease of deployment. It has become the preferred choice of application developers. However, there are not many training programs that address secure application development.

While .Net developers often learn security on the job, primarily because the basic education of programming does not usually cover or emphasize security concerns, the CASE program trains these developers to place importance on security.
