Most of the current effort in Application Security is directed towards securing applications after deployment to production. In an ideal environment however, security is at the forefront of daily operations, saving an organization time and money. This course aims to make this a reality by teaching executives and information security managers their important role in Application Security, giving them a general understanding of the threat landscape, and outlining the controls they may use to start or enhance their current Application Security Program. A major case study and various hands-on components are used to guide students in understanding their role and how they can improve their organization’s overall security posture.
