Insecure software is the root cause of the majority of enterprise breaches. Organisations need application security engineers who can identify vulnerabilities in code, integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, and work alongside development teams to build security in from the start rather than bolt it on at the end. XASE is built for security engineers, developers moving into security, and application security consultants who need to demonstrate practical AppSec capability.
Across six instructor-led days, participants build competency from secure development foundations through to advanced techniques: threat modelling with STRIDE and MITRE ATT&CK, secure code review across multiple languages, OWASP Top 10 and ASVS application, API security testing, mobile application security, software supply chain security, and DevSecOps pipeline integration with SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling. Every session uses real code, real vulnerabilities, and real remediation.
On Day 6, participants conduct a supervised AppSec assessment including a code review of a vulnerable application, threat model development, and API security test. The senior practitioner observes methodology, technical depth, and communication quality. XASE certificate and Practitioner Assessment Report issued together. Aligned with OWASP Top 10 2025, OWASP ASVS, NIST SP 800-218 SSDF, NCSC Secure Development guidelines, CWE/SANS Top 25, and SLSA supply chain framework.
