Security Compass to Offer eLearning Course for (ISC)2® Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP®) Certification
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 24, 2014 -- RSA 2014 Conference -- Security Compass, a leading Web and mobile application security firm, today announced the availability of its online training course for the (ISC)2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) certification. The eLearning course offered by Security Compass covers the eight domains of the CSSLP in a convenient online format.
According to the 2013 (ISC)2 Global Information Security Workforce Study conducted by Frost & Sullivan, application vulnerabilities were the number one security concern for 69 percent of respondents. Further, a significant gap persists between software developers’ priorities and security professionals’ concerns. Despite these findings, industry response is still lacking.
“Secure software development has been a key problem for our industry for quite some time, which makes the CSSLP certification so vital for today’s security teams and developers,” said Nish Bhalla, founder, Security Compass. “For companies to build an infrastructure that will defend against software threats, there’s a huge cost and resource barrier - which is why secure development and lifecycle management are so important to implement. Once students have completed our online CSSLP coursework, we hope they will be fully prepared to implement software security measures and requirements in all phases of the software development lifecycle.”
In September 2013, CSSLP qualified for use under the U.S. Department of Defense 8570.1 Mandate. Since its initial launch in 2008, over 1,200 software security professionals have earned the CSSLP.
Security Compass’s (ISC)2-approved online training course allows candidates to learn at their own pace without incurring travel costs associated with instructor-led training. The online coursework covers the eight domains of the CSSLP certification: secure software concepts; security software requirements; secure software design; secure software implementation/coding; secure software testing; software acceptance; software deployment, operations, maintenance, and disposal; and supply chain and software acquisition.
