CERN Technical Training: new courses on computer security

Two new trainings are available at CERN concerning computer security.

• How to create secure software?

The "Developing secure software" course (3.5 hours) is designed for software programmers, both for regular software and Web applications. It covers main aspects of security in different phases of the software development lifecycle. The last, optional hour discusses security issues of Web application developers. This course, although not hands-on, is interactive and full of real-life examples.

The first session of this course will take place, in English, on 21 April in the CERN Technical Training Centre. More sessions will be scheduled in 2009.

• How to safely navigate and send mails?

The "Secure e-mail and Web browsing" course is an entry-level 1.5-hour course designed to show how to detect and avoid typical security pitfalls encountered when e-mailing and browsing the Web. It is designed for non-technical users of Internet Explorer and Outlook.

The first sessions of this course will take place in English on 22 April and in French on 19 May in the CERN Technical Training Centre. More sessions will be scheduled in 2009.

Both courses are free. Registration is open on the Technical Training page. More information on our catalogue: http://cta.cern.ch/cta2/f?p=110:9 or contact us with your questions/comments at mailto:Technical.Training@cern.ch
