Course Description
This course prepares the graduate student to employ the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings to understand the methods in application hardening and its relevant techniques to configuration deployment along with center for internet security (CIS) controls. The academic engagement will cover the following topics: (i) Identify a secure baseline, (ii) Customize, (iii) Deploy. Students will be able to perform system hardening techniques with CIS controls.

Prerequisites

• Network & Systems Administration
• Security checklist
• IT security architecture
• Network security architecture
• Hardening tools

Course Outline

• Binary level code obfuscation to prevent attackers from seeing a functional view of an application. 
• Application integrity checks ensure the application code has not been altered. 
• Detect whether the app is running on a rooted or jailbroken device. 
• Vary how protections are applied in each build to prevent attackers from building up a cumulative understanding of how apps are being protected. 
• Determine what actions to take if app is being attacked or a device is determined to be compromised. 
• Utilize white-box cryptographic protection to encrypt critical keys and data.

Learning Objectives

• Provides best practices for securely deploying applications.
• Protect the application from a hacker trying to reverse engineer the app back to source code 
• Prevent hackers from trying to inspect internal values, monitor or tamper with the app 
• Enable your application to safely run in zero‑trust environments 
• Protect your users’ data and sensitive information
• Helps protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your application in production.
• Identifies when each task should be performed: at or near the beginning of development, on an ongoing basis, or just before deployment.
• Helps avoid expensive rework late in your development process.

Target Audience
Working Professional with Experience, Entry Level Working Professional, Graduates student.
