Cybersecurity for Developers: From Basics to Best Practices

In an increasingly interconnected world, cybersecurity is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re a developer, IT professional, or just starting your tech journey, understanding how to secure digital assets is essential to protecting your applications, data, and users.

Welcome to the “Cybersecurity for Developers” course, your practical guide to mastering the essential principles of modern cybersecurity. Designed with real-world scenarios in mind, this course takes you beyond the theory and into hands-on, practical examples, focusing on web application security—one of the most vulnerable and commonly exploited areas today.

Through engaging lessons, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of core security concepts like:

• Threat Modeling: Learn to anticipate potential threats and plan defenses before vulnerabilities are exploited.
• Web Application Security: Dive into common vulnerabilities in web apps, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection, and Insecure Authentication, and how to secure against them.
• Secure Coding Best Practices: Discover how to write robust code that minimizes vulnerabilities from the start.
• Incident Response: Learn how to detect, react, and recover from security breaches with minimal impact.
• API Security: Gain insights into how to secure APIs, which are critical components of today’s applications, drawing from the OWASP Top 10 for APIs.

This course doesn’t just teach you how to recognize and mitigate vulnerabilities—it empowers you to build secure applications from the ground up. By using real-world examples from web application development, you’ll see exactly how these security measures apply in everyday scenarios, providing you with actionable skills you can implement immediately.
