A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Unlock the skills to build robust, secure ASP.NET Core applications with confidence. This course equips you with practical knowledge of common vulnerabilities, secure authentication, authorization, and data protection practices, ensuring your code resists modern cyber threats. You'll gain insights into the financial and reputational impact of insecure coding and learn strategies to safeguard your applications using industry standards like OWASP. The journey begins by understanding threats and vulnerabilities, followed by configuring a secure development environment. You’ll explore the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC), performing threat modeling, and preparing secure design checklists. The course then guides you through implementing secure authentication flows, multi-factor authentication, and managing access control using roles and claims. Advanced sections focus on data security, cryptography, compliance, input validation, injection defenses, secure file handling, and automated secure deployments through CI/CD pipelines. You’ll also discover how AI can assist in secure coding, applying guardrails, performing audits, and refactoring code safely. Each module builds practical, hands-on skills to fortify your applications. This course is ideal for .NET developers, software engineers, and IT security enthusiasts looking to enhance application security. No prior security certification is required, but basic knowledge of ASP.NET Core is helpful. The course is designed for intermediate learners seeking to advance their secure coding expertise. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify and mitigate common security vulnerabilities, implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms, enforce data protection standards, and leverage AI-assisted tools to maintain robust, secure ASP.NET Core applications.
