With the increase in cybercrime and threat actors targeting web applications and software vulnerabilities as a route to exploit business, it's crucial to build security into new systems developments processes right from the start. Most successful cyber-attacks still depend on exploiting a few well-known common vulnerabilities. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) has recently released a valuable resource shedding light on the top 10 vulnerabilities that frequently plague large language model (LLM) applications. These vulnerabilities, such as prompt injections, data leakage, inadequate sandboxing, and unauthorized code execution, have the potential to significantly impact LLM systems and operations. This course, updated with the latest OWASP Top 10, will show you how security can be designed into, managed and maintained within a development lifecycle. Learn about the challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated software, and how to build security into AI systems at the outset.

There are no specific pre-requisites for this course.

Note: This course does not cover hands-on coding. Additional courses can be found in our Application Security and Secure Coding learning pathways.

Secure by Design Training Course in Finland

Finland is a country located in northern Europe. Helsinki is the capital and largest city of the country. The majority of the people are Finns but there is also a small Lapp population in Lapland, where the country is famous for the Northern Lights. Finland's national languages are Finnish and Swedish.

One of the world's largest sea fortresses Suomenlinna, Rovaniemi with the "White Nights", dogsled safaris and of course the Northern Lights are what makes Finland so popular for tourists. Finland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights and attracts millions of tourists during its seasons.

Finland is home to a thriving technology industry and is widely recognized as one of the world's leading technology hubs. Companies such as Nokia and Rovio (creator of the popular game Angry Birds) are based in Finland. Some of the key factors that have contributed to Finland's success in technology include; strong investment in research and development, a highly educated workforce and fundings.

Finland has a strong educational system, and is widely regarded as one of the world's most literate countries. In fact, Finland's literacy rate is one of the highest in the world, and its students consistently perform well in international tests of math and reading ability.
