ISTQB Certified Tester Security Test Engineer (CT-STE)

Would you like to develop a more technical and engineering focused approach to security testing? The ISTQB Certified Tester Security Test Engineer (CT-STE) is designed for professionals who want to strengthen their ability to plan, execute and improve security testing across modern software delivery environments.

About the Course

The ISTQB Certified Tester Security Test Engineer (CT-STE) is a specialist programme focused on the practical and technical aspects of security testing.

Complementary to the ISTQB Certified Tester Security Tester (CT-SEC), this course takes a more engineering focused perspective. You will explore security testing methods, techniques, standards, tools and processes used to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks and support secure software delivery.

The programme covers areas such as penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, threat modelling, attack scenario analysis and risk based security testing. You will also learn how security testing can be integrated throughout the software development lifecycle and aligned with operational environments, organisational policies and information security management systems.

Particular emphasis is placed on designing effective security tests, interpreting results and supporting continuous improvement of security testing practices.
