Secure Code Warrior NTC Hack Event

Secure Code Warrior HackDays(SCWH): To further enhance our skills, we’ve managed to secure licenses for a platform called <A HREF="https://new-www.securecodewarrior.com/developer/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Secure Code Warrior</A> (SCW) which is a gamified approach to improving your secure coding skills. It’s a suite of hands-on, interactive learning scenarios that enable developers to master secure coding techniques in different development languages and frameworks. It goes beyond the classic multiple choice techniques and offers hands-on challenges where software design and code needs to be analysed for security weaknesses. Once identified, you need to modify the code to remediate or mitigate the weaknesses. SCW supports different languages and technologies C# (.NET, WebForms, MVC), Java (Spring, Struts, JEE), Ruby (on Rails), Python (Django), Node.JS, Scala (Play) etc.
Topic of the Month: Open source code is becoming an integral part of modern IT industry. We must manage unique risks and rewards of this software development model by establishing a robust security strategy.
