Fluid Attacks requires its talent from the development and hacking teams to be trained on several secure coding practices, thus fostering their capabilities for recognizing and avoiding common vulnerabilities.
Secure code training focuses on teaching individuals how to write code that is not only functional but also secure from different types of cyber threats. The main goal of this training is to ensure that software is developed with security as a key part of it. Also, by learning secure coding practices, individuals can identify vulnerable and noncompliant code more efficiently. Software development projects using this approach reduce their vulnerabilities, enhance their overall security posture, and promote a culture of strong application security.
Fluid Attacks uses the training course
Developing Secure Software (LFD121) by The Linux Foundation, as its content covers important security topics that can be useful in Fluid Attacks' context.
Some of the topics are the following:
- Security basics
- Secure design principles
- Reusing external software
- Input validation
- Processing data securely
- Threat modeling
- Cryptography
Once the Fluid Attacks talent completes the training, they are required to send the achieved certificate of completion.
