Read. Break. Fix: Secure Code Review in Practice

Objectives of Training:

Modern breaches often start not from sophisticated zero-days, but from simple vulnerabilities hiding in plain sight within source code. Read. Break. Fix: Secure Code Review in Practice is an intermediate, hands-on training designed to help security professionals and developers think like attackers while reviewing code like defenders. This course focuses on practical, real-world secure code review techniques used to uncover high-impact vulnerabilities before they reach production. Participants will learn how attackers examine source code to uncover flaws in its logic and flow. The training bridges the gap between offensive security and defensive engineering, showing how code review can become a powerful security control rather than a checkbox activity. Through guided examples and hands-on exercises, attendees will review vulnerable code across different application stacks, exploit the flaws from an attacker’s perspective, and then implement secure fixes. The goal is not only to find vulnerabilities but to understand why they occur and how to prevent them at the design and development level. By the end of this training, participants will be able to confidently identify security weaknesses in source code, prioritize risk effectively, and collaborate with engineering teams to remediate issues in a practical and scalable manner.
