In an effort to improve security in the programs I develop I took several classes in the Foundations of Software Security from Cigital. These classes were split up into three certifications (Foundational, Subject Matter Expert, and Security Champion). There were interactive online videos to watch and participate in followed by a quiz for each topic.
The foundational courses were the first set of courses required. The gave the basic information about various cyber attacks and prevention. The certifcation had 11 courses to complete.
The subject matter expert courses dove deeper into attacks and prevention related to specific programming languages.
The security champion cources wrapped up the certifcations with a focus on architecture and testing strategies.
