Certified Software Security Tester (CSST)


Course Description:

GIPMC predicts that the current value of cybersecurity is $1.5 billion and expects it to reach $35 billion by 2025. According to Gartner, the global cybersecurity market size was projected to reach $170 billion by 2020. They anticipate about 1,000 new startups in security within the next decade. With cyber threats on the rise, there's a need for thorough testing to ensure defenses work effectively. This certification goes beyond just penetration testing. While penetration testing is crucial, there are other testing methods needed to address various threats and vulnerabilities. This certification helps you understand how attackers think by finding important details about a target and performing actions on a test application, mimicking what a malicious person might do. It also teaches you how to cover your tracks, like an attacker would, by deleting evidence of the attack.
