In this course, you'll continue developing your secure software development skills by following best practices for secure coding and preventing both platform and privacy vulnerabilities. You'll also implement common protections such as limiting access, protecting data in transit and at ret, implementing error handling and logging, protecting sensitive data and functions, and protecting database access.

You have designed the general application architecture and have performed threat modeling to identify potential vulnerabilities. You have followed a risk management process to identify how you will deal with each vulnerability, including specific countermeasures that you have incorporated into the design. Now it's time to start coding
