Fortify Training Services Securing Your Entire Software Portfolio FRAMEWORK*SSA Fortify s holistic approach to application security truly safeguards our enterprise against today s ever-changing security threats. Craig Schumard, CISO, CIGNA
Framework*SSA Training TeamStart Training Philosophy Fortify s mission is to empower our customers to achieve Software Security Assurance (SSA). As part of a successful SSA initiative, all members of a software development organization need to understand both the fundamentals of software security and the tactical implications on their work. Fortify covers both of these key aspects through the TeamStart methodology, which bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide relevant training with high retention and effectiveness. As part of Framework*SSA, the TeamStart methodology has been developed from training engagements across Fortify s sizable customer base. TeamStart Workshops Our TeamStart training workshops feature proven, hands-on exercises and examples customized for your environment and organizational processes, and using your code. For each application, a member of Fortify s staff of security experts delivers a five-day on-site TeamStart workshop customized using your application source code, your programming language, and your build system. Each TeamStart is targeted at an application s development or security team. TeamStart is the most effective program option for enabling rapid success with Fortify 360. elearning Courses To support and scale a training initiative, Fortify offers a comprehensive elearning program aimed at promoting secure coding practices within all parts of a customer s development and security organizations. These self-paced sessions are rich in content and easy to deploy to large, distributed teams. They also provide a reference and refresher after an instructor-led TeamStart to promote retention, and they are effective in training new team members. Most enterprises lack formal secure development training programs. 57% of organizations don t have systematic training programs addressing application security training for their developers. - Forrester Study Application Risk Management in Business Survey
Fortify Training Program A Training Program for Software Security Success Fortify combines instructor-led TeamStart workshops and elearning courses to provide a comprehensive program for educating an application team on software security and use of Fortify 360. The recommended program below establishes a fundamental software security capability within an organization before teaching the organization how to use Fortify 360 to automate many security processes. To maximize the value of the TeamStart, product-focused elearning is recommended. Product-focused elearning courses reinforce learning objectives from the TeamStart while affordably scaling the Fortify 360 training initiative to new and non-critical participants of the development process. Additionally, custom or advanced training can be developed to address the specific software security needs of an organization.

The Secure Coding courses provide security team members, developers, and quality engineers the background in secure software development necessary for understanding security issues identified in Fortify 360. Fortify TeamStart The Fortify TeamStart builds on an application team s software security and secure coding knowledge to educate the team on best practices for using Fortify 360 in their specific application environment. A TeamStart workshop is limited to a single application team because a significant portion of the examples and exercises are based on the participant s application, providing a rich, relevant, and productive training experience. Fortify Product elearning Courses Fortify Product elearning Courses keep TeamStart knowledge fresh and actionable. Participants in a TeamStart will find the courses useful as a reference and refresher after completing the TeamStart. Fortify Product elearning courses are also useful for training new team members who will be joining an application team utilizing Fortify 360 or for team members who are not directly responsible for the security of their application. Advanced Custom Training The Fortify training program is the most effective method to educate an application team on developing secure applications with Fortify 360, but some advanced or custom topics may not be covered. For advanced software security concepts and Fortify 360 product usage, Fortify offers custom training classes to mature an application team s software security and Fortify 360 capabilities.
Fortify TeamStart Tailored Training Workshops for Software Security Assurance The Intersection of Theory and Practice Combining the benefits of rigorous theory and on-the-job practice, Fortify TeamStart is the most efficient and effective method of adopting Fortify 360 inside your organization.
