Modern C++ Security

Course Description

Writing secure code in modern C++ is far from trivial. This course will introduce you to the complexity of working with the C++ family of languages from a security perspective. Learn about some of the major security flaws that can lead to insecure programs and how to combat them. String handling, memory management, integer overflow and wrapping, and format string attacks are all covered.

Learning Objectives

Describe the use cases where modern C++ is widely used and how modern C++ helps developers write safer code
Apply new best practices to safely manipulate strings
Identify unsafe memory handling practices and see how to handle memory safely
Apply mitigations to deal with common integer mishandling
Understand issues with concurrency and parallelism
Describe how the compiler’s optimizer impacts security outcomes in modern C++
