I can't recommend this course enough for anyone looking to bolster their secure software development skills. Coming from a UK-based company, the course content was highly relevant and allowed me to address security concerns in our products. The practical exercises provided me with hands-on experience in applying best practices, which I could then take back to my team. Overall, an excellent learning experience!
