The purpose of secure coding training is to inform the development team of the forthcoming secure coding practices we are going to perform. At the initial stage of the secure coding awareness training, the focus will be mainly on the following:
- What are secure coding standards or baselines?
- What are common industry secure coding issues?
- How will they impact on a developer's daily tasks?
- Release criteria for secure code scanning
A case study or scenario-based vulnerable source code example will have better training effects than simply secure coding rules. The following are good references in this area and provide a lot of vulnerable and secure best practice code samples:
- OWASP Security Knowledge Framework: https://www.securityknowledgeframework.org/
- Android Application Secure Design and Secure Coding Guidebook: http://www.jssec.org/dl/android_securecoding_en...
