Course description
If your web applications or systems have any involvement with processing or storing credit card data in any form, then the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards will almost certainly affect you. This still applies if the services or code merely lives on a shared resource which also stores or processes credit card data.
Security breaches and failures can lead to harsh penalties from member organisations (such as Visa and Mastercard), and the nature of the penalty depends on various factors such as the extent of non compliance with PCI data security standards found during a forensic investigation, and number of affected accounts / records breached.
Our course aims to address a significant requirement of the PCI DSS which is to ensure that relevant training is given to any software developers involved in developing & maintaining such financial applications and services.
The PCI DSS draws heavily on the current OWASP Top Ten Web Application Security Risks. These largely affect cross-platform technologies, and as such our course can be suitable for anyone involved in web development; our hands-on exercises and code demonstrations are delivered with examples in ASP.NET (with VB.NET or C#) or Java, but we can tailor the course for on-site delivery and focus on your development language / platform of choice (PHP, HTML5, Python et al).
What you will learn
* Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards for Software Development
* Secure Development Lifecycle
* OWASP Top 10 Threats with code examples
* Crypto techniques
* Fuzz testing
Who should attend
Web Developers, Testers, Software Architects, Development Managers, Technical QA Managers
Prerequisites
Experience of data-driven web development in a language such as Java, C#, VB.NET, PHP. Knowledge of JavaScript would also be useful.
