Secure input validation Hardening Clinic
RCCE students will learn secure coding practices, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, API security, input validation, and application threat modeling. RCCE students will learn to identify and remediate application vulnerabilities across web, API, and mobile platforms, implement secure design patterns, conduct application security assessments, and integrate security testing into development pipelines for continuous protection. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
