Due to the short supply of individuals with these in-demand skills, Application Security Engineers earn more money than Application Developers ( i.e Software Developers) and are in high demand, but the job requires additional training in security.
CertNexus, with its mission to closing the emerging tech global skills gap is teaming up with Moat Academy to bridge this huge gap.
At Moat Academy Secure Coding Boot camp, we equip individuals with programming experience with the much needed security skills to improve their ability to design and develop highly protected applications with confidence and further enable their transitioning to Application Security Engineers.
