Course Overview
Hi, everyone. My name is Kevin Henry, a security consultant and computer analyst and programmer and a holder of the CSSLP, the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional certification. I look forward to sharing knowledges and experiences with you. Welcome to my course on secure software architecture and design for the CSSLP, the third domain of the CSSLP certification. This course will help you design secure applications and architecture and meet the requirements to assist you in preparing for the CSSLP examine. Building secure software requires knowing the threats that the application will face and understanding how the application will interface with other systems. So we'll look at characterizing software threats, designing software security architectures, and to design secure interfaces. By the end of this course, you'll be prepared to progress into the next domain of the CSSLP secure software implementation. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about the security architecture and design and the role you can play in this exciting and rewarding field through this course at Pluralsight.
