After speaking with a lot of developers we realized they are looking for a
fun, quick way to enhance their knowledge about the secure coding aspects of
development. We have put together a series of interactive quizzes which test
security professionals' and software developers' secure development
awareness while teaching them how to build more secure software. Please find
links to the first two, below. The first quiz is based on the OWASP Top Ten
Project and the second quiz is based on best practices of secure coding.
The OWASP Top 10 is a list detailing the most critical software security
risks facing organizations with the goal of raising awareness about
application security. Based on this knowledge an organization can measure
the strength of its application security controls in place and determine
what counter-measures to open threats need to be put in place.OWASP

Secure Coding:
The most efficient solution to managing one's application security risk is
to take security into consideration right from the very beginning of the
software development process and ensure that security is built in at every
phase of the adopted software development lifecycle. This can be made
possible by developers well educated on the available security resources
needed to write secure code.
