Course Prerequisites
To successfully undertake training in the CertNexus Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) course, students should meet the following minimum prerequisites:
-
Basic understanding of software development: Familiarity with at least one programming language and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
-
Awareness of general security concepts: Knowledge of fundamental security principles, such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
-
Experience with software development tools: Comfort using integrated development environments (IDEs), source code management tools, and other common development tools.
-
Basic knowledge of network and web security: Understanding of how data moves across networks and common web security concerns.
-
Problem-solving skills: Ability to think critically and solve problems, which is essential for identifying and addressing security issues in software.
