Q/SSE® Qualified/ Software Security Expert Certificate Program of Mastery

SU Q/SSE® Qualified/ Software Security Expert Certificate Program of Mastery

Class fee include all Required classed – exams are required to graduate

Everyone, no matter what software you write, software protocols, internal processes or you're responsible for secure programming. You all need to know secure coding techniques that minimize the adverse effects of SQL or other malicious hacker attacks on code.

This class is for everyone! If you want to learn how add Microsoft's SDL, sanitize inputs and test code this class is for you, if you write code this class is for you because everyone needs to know software security and how to BREAK & FIX software.

This SU Certificate Program of Mastery delivers the best of all of the Qualified Software Security Expert classes and more. It includes items that are defensive in nature (e.g. checking error return codes before using, other data structures that should have been created, or protecting against using a pointer after it has been released), process-related and risk- related, hacking and XSS . Also included are items on how to prevent attacks with a step-by-step process how to FIX software with counter measures that protect your code.

Passing the Q/SSE classes qualifies you to take each Q/SSE exam. The Q/SSE exam is made up questions you have seen from the Q/SSE classes that you take before the Q/SEE 100 multiple choice EXAM. Or you can Master the Q/SSE EXAM without taking any Q/SSE classes by passing the Q/SSE exam with an 70 or better and prove you have mastered the tactical software security skills labs from each Q/SEE class that proves your "qualified" for the job.

Lastly, its all about the web killer app. Web servers ARE the target of choice for hackers. 97% of all web applications are vulnerable, and better network security isn't the only answer! We explore a model for web application testing and discuss web application concerns, including accountability, availability, confidentiality and integrity. You will go well beyond the OWASP to look at 19 specific web application attacks, including attacking the client, state, data and the server. When you leave these classes you are ready to defend your c0d3!

The SU Q/SSE® Certificate Program of Mastery and related secure coding micro badges identify and certify "qualified persons" who subscribe to a rigorous requirement to maintain their knowledge and proficiency securing code. The mission is to know secure coding techniques that minimize the adverse effects of SQL or other malicious hacker attacks on code.

Welcome to SU’s Q/ISP Qualified Information Security Certificate Program. Here students have up to 7 yrs complete a SU Qualified/ Information Security Certificate Program. SU Programs are SCHEV Approved Vocational Non-College Degree Certificate Programs. All SU Programs are instructor-led face-to-face.

All Students are required to register online at the SU website REGISTER ME Tab (https://www.securityuniversity.net/reg.php).

Prior Learning policy honors the service, experience of our nation’s veterans and their dependents. SU students can reduce costs for coursework already mastered that leads to high wage in-demand cyber employment.

VETERANS Any student who attends a prep course under any chapter may attend from the date on student COE. Students are VA reimbursed for class fees receipts. Exam fees are line items and noted as included or not included in the class fee on each invoice and receipt “as noted above” No late fee penalty’s or denial of access to classes or libraries, or require the student borrow additional funds chapter 31 or 33 unless student is less than 100% covered.

NON-STANDARD TERM DEFENITION SU classes are non-standard term [shorter than a standard quarter or semester]. The number of hours a student attends class is measured. Students enroll in a 520 hour program of 10 classes and 3 practical’s. Students should complete 2-3 classes each year in years 1-3, and complete at least one class in years 4-7.

STUDENT ENTRANCE REQUIREMENT - In order to be admitted as a student at Security University, a student must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). TCP/IP is the language a computer uses to access the Internet. It consists of a suite of protocols designed to establish a network to provide a computer with access to the Internet. TCP/IP defines the details of how data is sent and received through networks. Sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP is essential for students to understand and address the coursework at SU. While 2 months of experience on your resume helps, there is no exact amount of time period of employment with TCP/IP required. The President of Security University and/or any board member designated by the President shall determine prior to class whether or not a student has sufficient knowledge of TCP/IP in order to be admitted into SU. The primary purpose is whether a student has the necessary foundation to succeed in the coursework offered at SU. All decisions made by the President or any board designated by the President are final.

What Is CWE?

Targeted to developers and security practitioners, CWE is a formal list of software weaknesses, idiosyncrasies, faults, and flaws created to serve as a common language for describing the source code, software design, or software architecture causes of software security vulnerabilities. CWE is a standard measuring stick for software security tools targeting these issues. That provide a common baseline standard for identification, mitigation, and prevention of these weaknesses.
