CSSLP 2024: Secure Software Lifecycle Management

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Security design principles enable professionals to create resilient software systems, protect sensitive data, and ensure compliance with industry standards, enhancing overall cybersecurity and professional credibility. In this course, you will explore the differences between predictive and adaptive software development life cycle (SDLC) approaches. You will contrast the Agile methodology with the Waterfall approach and secure implementations of Agile methodologies, such as Secure Scrum and Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (MSDL)/Agile. Then you will trace the evolution of DevOps from Agile and examine how DevSecOps embeds security practices into the workflow, ensuring shared responsibility for security. Next, you will discover DevSecOps security practices, including automated security testing and continuous monitoring. Finally, you will analyze the importance of inventory management, secure configuration management, and security standard adoption. The course will also cover the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks for actionable security guidelines, the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for U.S. Department of Defense compliance, and Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) for automating security assessments and policy enforcement. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
