This Postgraduate certificate will teach you how to establish the necessary requirements for the correct operation of an application, in a safe way" 

All developers face the challenge of making quality and secure application code, since in today's application ecosystem, any code or system vulnerability will lead to data loss, exposure and theft, as well as other problems caused by cyber-attacks.

It is the developer's obligation to be familiar with the different environments and phases through which their code will pass and to ensure that it works, in any of them, in the most efficient and secure way.

In addition, they have to know the needs and dependencies of their application to function and try to minimize the use of modules and functions, in order to reduce the attack surface. Understanding the methodologies and the type of tests to be performed will decrease, therefore, the time to resolve issues and verify the code.

A fully up-to-date Postgraduate certificate that will allow you to grow as a professional in a field that requires specialists who are fully up to date in all aspects of this unit.
