Build security into the code, not onto it. This track teaches security-first coding and crypto-agile design across TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Kotlin and Java, with an OWASP-aligned SDLC wired into your DevSecOps pipeline.
Insecure Code Ships at the Speed of CI/CD
Vulnerabilities now reach production as fast as your pipelines can deploy, and cryptography hard-coded today quietly becomes tomorrow's migration debt. Building security in by design and keeping cryptography agile is far cheaper than retrofitting after an incident or a forced algorithm change. And as the software supply chain grows, every weak dependency widens the blast radius of a single mistake.
Language-aware secure coding paired with the process and tooling to enforce it — every highlight below maps to a module in the detailed course syllabus.
Secure-by-design thinking and an OWASP-aligned SDLC that makes the secure path the default
Crypto-agile application design so algorithms can be swapped without rewrites
Secure coding patterns across TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Kotlin and Java
DevSecOps and supply-chain security — SAST, DAST, secrets scanning and dependency hygiene
Testing, secure code review and hardening to catch issues before they ship
Three delivery depths — from an engineering-leadership briefing to a full hands-on coding lab — all tailored to your stack and team.
For engineering leadership: a secure-SDLC strategy session that builds shared urgency and a plan to shift security left.
For architects and senior developers: OWASP-aligned design, crypto-agility and DevSecOps tooling, with guided demos.
Full immersion: write and review secure code in your languages, harden a vulnerable app and wire up a DevSecOps pipeline.
Working knowledge of at least one of the covered languages — TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Kotlin or Java
Basic web and application fundamentals — how requests, sessions and data flow through an app
No prior security background required — we build secure-coding intuition from the ground up
A hosted lab pre-loaded with deliberately vulnerable sample apps — no local setup needed
Secure-coding cheat sheets for each language you bring to the room
A DevSecOps pipeline template you can drop into your own CI/CD to keep
Content is pitched to each audience so builders, defenders and technical leaders all leave with what they need.
Write and ship the application code that everything else depends on.
Leave able to write secure, crypto-agile code and spot common flaws in their own language.
Own the tooling, gates and reviews that keep insecure code out of production.
Leave able to embed SAST, DAST and supply-chain checks into a DevSecOps pipeline that developers trust.
Set standards, design systems and answer for the security of what the team ships.
Leave able to define an OWASP-aligned SDLC and crypto-agile patterns the whole team can follow.
Capabilities and tangible artifacts that translate directly into your secure-development program.
Developers who write secure, crypto-agile code in their primary language
An OWASP-aligned SDLC the whole team understands and follows
The judgement to threat-model a feature and review code for security, not just correctness
Confidence to wire automated security gates into existing CI/CD without slowing teams down
A secure-coding standard tailored to the languages your teams actually use
An OWASP-aligned SDLC checklist to embed in your delivery workflow
A crypto-agility design pattern guide for swapping algorithms without rewrites
A DevSecOps pipeline template with security gates ready to drop into CI/CD
A QSECS certificate of completion for every participant
Five modules scaling from secure-by-design foundations to hands-on hardening. Select a module to expand it.
Least privilege, defence in depth and failing safe — the mindset behind every decision that follows.
How each of the ten risk categories shows up in real applications, and the patterns that prevent them.
Lightweight threat modeling you can run on a feature in an afternoon, not a quarter.
Where security activities slot into design, build, review and release so the secure path is the default.
Hard-coded algorithms become migration debt — designing so they can change is cheaper than rewriting later.
Putting crypto behind interfaces and configuration so primitives can be swapped without touching callers.
Generating, storing, rotating and revoking keys and secrets safely across environments.
Designing today so a move to post-quantum algorithms is a configuration change, not a project.
Validation, encoding and parameterisation to shut down injection across every covered language.
Building authentication, authorisation and session handling that resist the common bypasses.
The footguns and safe idioms unique to TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Kotlin and Java.
Safe error handling and logging that aids debugging without leaking sensitive data.
Where SAST, DAST and secrets scanning belong in the pipeline so feedback reaches developers fast.
SCA, an SBOM and pinning so a weak dependency can't widen your blast radius.
Signing artifacts, securing build systems and protecting the path from commit to production.
Tuning gates to catch real issues without drowning teams in noise or blocking delivery.
A repeatable review method that finds security flaws as reliably as it finds bugs.
Unit, integration and abuse-case tests that prove the secure behaviour you intended.
Take a deliberately flawed sample app and remediate it, language by language.
Stand up a DevSecOps pipeline and ship a hardened service end to end.

Every participant who completes the track receives a verifiable QSECS Certificate of Completion — a credible signal to leadership, auditors and customers that your engineers build security in from the first commit.
Individually issued with a unique, verifiable credential ID
Hands-on and lab tracks include a graded capstone assessment
Maps to continuing-education (CPE) hours for common security certifications
Shareable to LinkedIn and your internal skills matrix
An illustrative Day 1 from the 2-day format — every agenda is tailored to your goals before delivery.
Framing why security belongs in design, and what an OWASP-aligned SDLC looks like in practice.
Walking each risk category through live examples in the languages your team uses.
Abstracting cryptography and managing keys so algorithms can change without rewrites.
Wiring SAST, DAST, secrets and dependency scanning into the pipeline without slowing delivery.
Find and fix real flaws in a deliberately vulnerable sample application.
Day 2 covers language-specific secure coding, secure code review, security testing and a DevSecOps pipeline workshop.
Everything teams usually ask before booking the secure development practices track.
We cover TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Kotlin and Java. The only prerequisite is working knowledge of at least one of them plus basic web/app fundamentals — no prior security background is required, and we tailor examples to the languages your team brings.
Yes. The track is built around the OWASP Top 10 and an OWASP-aligned SDLC, mapping each risk category to concrete secure-coding patterns and the process and tooling that prevent it from reaching production.
All three. We run sessions in-person at your site, fully remote, or hybrid — across time zones for distributed teams. The hands-on labs run in a hosted sandbox so delivery mode never changes the experience.
We provide a ready-to-use cloud sandbox pre-loaded with deliberately vulnerable sample apps. Participants only need a browser — there's no local setup, and nothing ever touches your production systems.
Yes. We tailor examples, labs and the pipeline template to your languages, frameworks and cloud providers, and can anchor the secure-SDLC workshop to your real architecture under NDA. Tailoring is scoped during the requirement-analysis call.
Yes — every participant receives a verifiable QSECS Certificate of Completion, and hands-on tracks include a graded capstone. The credential maps to CPE hours for common security certifications.
