Secure by Design Training in Qatar

With the rise of cybercrime and exploitation of software vulnerabilities, organizations must integrate security from the design phase.
This Secure by Design Training in Qatar teaches how to design, implement, and maintain security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Updated with the OWASP Top 10 (2021) and OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, it covers the latest AI-related security threats, including prompt injection, data leakage, and unauthorized code execution.
Learners gain deep understanding of Secure by Design principles and how to implement them in DevOps and AI-driven environments.

Regulatory Compliance (BDDK)

This course fully complies with the
Regulation on Banks’ Information Systems and Electronic Banking Services (Articles 20, 22, 23, and 25).

Covered articles include:

• Article 20: Secure software development lifecycle and process management

• Article 22: Change management and configuration control

• Article 23: Security testing and vulnerability management

• Article 25: Information security management and traceability

Hence, this training is recommended for banks and regulated financial institutions to maintain compliance and resilience.

By the end of this Secure by Design Training in Qatar, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Understand Secure SDLC models and choose the appropriate approach.

• Apply secure design principles throughout the lifecycle.

• Identify and mitigate OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

• Implement threat modeling (STRIDE, Attack Trees).

• Apply encryption, access control, and code review best practices.

• Address AI-generated software risks (prompt injections, data poisoning).

• Understand OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Models.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Embed security in design and development workflows,

• Create BDDK-compliant secure SDLC pipelines,

• Strengthen software resilience against modern and AI-based threats.
