Certified Software Security Tester (CSST)

Exam Code: CSST-001

CSST covers a wide range of security testing techniques, including static and dynamic application security testing, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing concepts, and risk analysis. Candidates learn how to design and execute security test cases, interpret security test results, and collaborate with development teams to remediate vulnerabilities effectively. The certification also emphasizes compliance, governance, and the importance of building security awareness across development and testing teams.

The Certified Software Security Tester (CSST)^™ certification is designed to validate a professional’s knowledge and skills in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities within software applications. It focuses on integrating security testing into the software development lifecycle, ensuring that applications are resilient against threats such as injection attacks, authentication flaws, data leakage, and insecure configurations. The certification provides a strong foundation in application security principles, secure testing methodologies, and industry-recognized security standards.

The Certification is helpful in demonstrating the attacker mentality by discovering key information about a target, performing actions on a test application in a protected environment that a malicious person would perform, and understand how evidence of the attack could be deleted.
