Introducing the Certified Secure Development Professional (CSDP)
Absolutely! Here's your updated launch blog post with the quote from Raafey Khan integrated for maximum impact and authority:
At SafeStack, we believe that secure software starts with empowered people—developers, engineers, and technical teams who are equipped not only to write code but also to build security into everything they create.
Today, we’re thrilled to launch a significant milestone in that mission:
Certified Secure Development Professional (CSDP)
SafeStack’s first globally available certification is designed to recognize and validate real-world secure development skills.
Why CSDP?
Modern software teams face a growing list of security challenges. From managing dependencies and preventing injection flaws to designing for resilience and responding to incidents, it’s no longer enough to leave security to the specialists.
And this isn’t just our view.
"Our internal analysis highlights gaps in Application and Development Security as the leading cause of vulnerabilities. Educating technology teams on secure development practices is crucial to protecting our organisations and ensuring that systems are built with security in mind."
— Raafey Khan, Director, Application Security at CyberCX
Who is the CSDP for?
CSDP is designed for developers, engineers, testers, and technical team members who want to:
Build secure software from day one
Understand the threats their software faces
Apply best-practice security techniques across the SDLC
Demonstrate their skills and commitment with an industry-recognized certification
This certification is perfect for individuals looking to pursue careers in secure development and application security, and organizations that wish to formally recognize their security champions and provide recognized career development pathways for their team.
What’s Included?
CSDP isn’t just another theory-heavy, checkbox-style test.
It’s a practical, hands-on certification built to match the way modern development teams work. It includes:
World-class, online, secure development training
A structured learning path across key domains like authentication, data protection, secure coding, and incident readiness
Real-world, scenario-based assessments
Certification on completion to prove your skills to peers, employers, and the world
