		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><p>The stakes for software security are very high, and yet many development teams deal with software security only after the code has been developed and the software is being prepared for delivery. As with any aspect of software quality, to ensure successful implementation, security and privacy issues should be managed throughout the entire software development lifecycle. </p>
<p>This course presents an approach for dealing with security and privacy throughout the entire software development lifecycle. You will learn about vulnerabilities that undermine security, and how to identify and remediate them in your own projects. You will learn general strategies for dealing with security defects and misconfiguration, how to design software to deal with the human element in security, and how to incorporate security into all phases of development. </p>
<h3>Course Objectives:</h3>
<p>In this course, you will employ best practices in software development to develop secure software. You will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify the need for security in your software projects.</li>
<li>Eliminate vulnerabilities within software.</li>
<li>Use a Security by Design approach to design a secure architecture for your software.</li>
<li>Implement common protections to protect users and data.</li>
<li>Apply various testing methods to find and correct security defects in your software.</li>
<li>Maintain deployed software to ensure ongoing security.</li>
</ul>
<p><b><i>This course includes hands-on activities for each topic area. The goal of these activities is to demonstrate concepts utilizing two universal languages Python and JavaScript. Developers who use alternate languages will be able to apply the principles from the activities to any coding languages.</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>Hands-on exercises are designed to keep the typing of code to a bare minimum. We provide students with all of the code they need to complete activities. The activities do not require a 'deep dive' into code to understand the principles being covered.</i></b></p>
<p></p>
	
		<h3>Target Student</h3>
		<p></p><p>This course is designed for software developers, testers, and architects who design and develop software in various programming languages and platforms, including desktop, web, cloud, and mobile, and who want to improve their ability to deliver software that is of high quality, particularly regarding security and privacy.</p>
<p>This course is also designed for students who are seeking the CertNexus Cyber Secure Coder certification.</p>
<p></p>
	
		<h3>Prerequisites</h3>

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet impactful self-help, self-care and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength and joy.  And that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our four-week, live online workshop series, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice one or two tools designed to fit seamlessly into your life (in just a few minutes at a time, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, if needed, and introduce the next tool.  
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be. She&rsquo;d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">She&rsquo;s not currently taking on YA, children&rsquo;s, fantasy or science fiction projects.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;</strong></p><p id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(<em style="box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box;">In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

There is often very little appreciation and understanding of the complexities of managing today's mission-critical data centers where downtime is not an option, especially since many of the data centers are operating at, or near, their design limits. Operations management at the facilities layer makes all the difference. Even a data center designed to the highest redundancy level as per the ANSI/TIA-942 standard could still experience many unscheduled downtime events due to poor planning, operations, maintenance and management processes.</p></div><div id="course-pills-2"><h4>Service Level Management</h4><ul><li>Service Level Management</li><li>Needs analysis</li><li>Capability assessment</li><li>Service portfolio</li><li>Service catalogue</li><li>Service Level Agreements (SLAs)</li><li>Availability measurement</li><li>Data points in SLA</li><li>Service reporting</li><li>Complaint procedure</li><li>Customer satisfaction measurement</li><li>Service Improvement Process (SIP)</li><li>SLA content</li></ul><h4>The Data Center Organization</h4><ul><li>Operational issues</li><li>Organization chart</li><li>Roles and responsibilities</li><li>Skills matrix</li><li>Contingency / backup roles</li><li>Shift management</li><li>Performance management</li><li>Career development</li><li>Training and assessment</li><li>Job rotation</li><li>Succession planning</li><li>Disciplinary program</li></ul><h4>Managing Safety &amp; Statutory Requirements</h4><ul><li>Safety policies and regulations</li><li>Occupational Health and Safety (OH&amp;S)</li><li>Safety awareness training</li><li>Permit to Work (PTW)</li><li>Lock-out / Tag-out</li><li>Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)</li><li>Testing and tagging of equipment</li><li>Emergency preparedness and response</li><li>Reporting of safety issues</li><li>Reviews / internal audit / external audit</li></ul><h4>Managing Physical Security</h4><ul><li>Security policies and procedures</li><li>Security standards and guidelines</li><li>Security staff</li><li>Security awareness</li><li>Security incident management</li><li>Disciplinary program</li><li>Reviews, internal and external audits</li></ul><h4>Facilities Management</h4><ul><li>Maintenance policies and procedures</li><li>Various maintenance programs</li><li>Outsourcing of maintenance activities</li><li>Maintenance contract options</li><li>Warranty</li><li>Maintenance schedule</li><li>Service situations</li><li>Spart part management</li><li>Contamination control</li></ul><h4>Data Center Operations</h4><ul><li>Policies and procedures for data center operations</li><li>Service operations and the daily data center operations</li></ul><h4>Monitoring / Reporting / Control</h4><ul><li>Monitoring requirements</li><li>Escalation procedures</li><li>Reporting</li><li>Trend analysis</li><li>Reviews</li></ul><h4>Project Management</h4><ul><li>Project management</li><li>Project organization</li><li>Project manager</li><li>Project phases</li></ul><h4>Environment Sustainability</h4><ul><li>The importance of sustainability</li><li>Sustainability policies </li><li>Environmental management </li><li>Power efficiency indicators -</li><li>Waste management -</li><li>Water management</li><li>ICT utilisation management </li><li>Environmental performance measurements</li><li>Renewable energy factor (REF)</li></ul><h4>Organizational Resilience</h4><ul><li>Business continuity</li><li>Data center facility options</li><li>Business Impact Analysis</li><li>Type of facility</li><li>Human resources</li><li>Facility, equipment and consumables</li></ul><h4>Governance, Risk and Compliance</h4><ul><li>Management commitment</li><li>Coordination, collaboration and integration</li><li>Compliance</li><li>Risk management</li><li>Document management</li><li>Financial management</li><li>Vendor management</li><li>Asset management</li></ul></div><div id="course-pills-3"><h4>Additional course details:</h4><br /><p>Nexus Humans Certified Data Center Facilities Operations Manager (CDFOM) training program is a workshop that presents an invigorating mix of sessions, lessons, and masterclasses meticulously crafted to propel your learning expedition forward. </p><p></p> This immersive bootcamp-style experience boasts interactive lectures, hands-on labs, and collaborative hackathons, all strategically designed to fortify fundamental concepts. <p></p>Guided by seasoned coaches, each session offers priceless insights and practical skills crucial for honing your expertise.
