  2. AGENDA • Introduction • Security types • Certification’s • Courses • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • What is Security Software Education? Software security essentially deals with what are the security risks and how would one manage them. • Security space can be cleanly divided into two distinct subfields: Information Security Application Security • Information security concerns confidentiality, integrity and availability.

  4. Information Security • Secure both the information and the information systems. Classic Threats • Disclosure • Snooping, Trojan Horses • Deception • Modification, spoofing, repudiation of origin, denial of receipt • Disruption • Modification • Usurpation • Modification, spoofing, delay, denial of service

  5. Application Security • Application security applies security throughout the application’s life cycle. • Protect from attacks from design defects, deployment and maintenance of the application. Application level security threats. • Session Threat: Session Hijacking, Session replay, Man in the middle attack. • Auditing and Logging: Non Repudiation • Input Threats: Cross Site scripting, SQL injection

  6. SQL Injection Web Browser Web Server Database Username & Password Normal Query SELECT passwd FROM USERS WHERE unameIS ‘$username’ 01001010101010100101

  7. SQL Injection Web Browser Web Server Database “Username & Password” Malicious Query SELECT passwd FROM USERS WHERE unameIS ‘’; DROP TABLEUSERS; -- ' Eliminates all user accounts

  10. Why Security Certification? • Professional validation of skills • Exposure to industry standards • Best practices • Baseline skills for a specific role • Quality of work & productivity • Differentiation of your organization or group

  11. Security Certifications • Classifications: • Benchmark • Wide recognition by professionals in all sectors • Advanced level • Prerequisite for many senior jobs • Foundation • Introductory certifications • One to four years of experience

  12. Security Certifications • Classifications: • Intermediate • 3 to 4 years of networking experience • 2 years of IT Security experience • Advanced • Expert level • Minimum of 4 years of IT Security experience

  13. Security Certifications • Benchmark certifications: • CISSP • ISC2.org • Common Body of Knowledge • Access Control Systems and Methodology • Applications & Systems Development • Business Continuity Planning • Cryptography • Law, Investigation & Ethics Cost $600 Average Annual Salary- $115,000

  14. Security Certifications • Foundation level: • SANS • GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC) • Basic understanding of the CBK • Basic skills to incorporate good information security practices • GIAC IT Security Audit Essentials • Developing audit checklists • Perform limited risk assessment Cost $450 Average Annual Salary- $70,000
