Compliance with PCI DSS: The importance of secure coding training for developers

With the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), it’s crucial to ensure systems and tools are in place to handle data securely to prevent potential issues with compliance or exploitation from would-be attackers. This brief explores how developers can be empowered to secure their code for handling payments and transactions. We also highlight the importance of the roles of developers and their training plays in ensuring PCI DSS is being followed to the letter. We cover details on the available learning paths on the SecureFlag platform, aimed specifically at improving SDLC security posture with PCI DSS in mind.
