This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to perform manual secure source code reviews for modern applications. Participants will learn how to identify security vulnerabilities directly within the source code, understand insecure coding practices, validate findings, and recommend secure remediation techniques using industry-recognized secure coding standards such as OWASP ASVS, OWASP Top 10, CWE, and Secure SDLC practices.

Participants should have a basic understanding of software development, programming concepts, application architecture, and cybersecurity fundamentals. Familiarity with Java, JavaScript, Python, C/C++, or other commonly used programming languages is recommended. Basic knowledge of web applications, APIs, databases, authentication mechanisms, and common security vulnerabilities will also be helpful. Prior professional source code review or secure code assessment experience is not mandatory.
