SKILL BENCHMARK
Secure Programming Proficiency (Advanced Level)
- 16m
- 16 questions
The Secure Programming Proficiency (Advanced Level) benchmark measures your knowledge of common cryptographic algorithms. You will be assessed on your ability to recognize common attacks and the coding mistakes that make software vulnerable to attacks and apply software resiliency techniques. Learners who score high on this benchmark demonstrate that they have the skills to apply encryption and resilient coding technique.
