SANS Exams for IT Coders

The new SANS Institute exams aimed at IT coders is another attempt by the industry to enhance secure IT coding skills in programmers. The exam is intended to give companies a way to measure the security savvy of programmers, plus a way to measure the security steps vendor programmers take. It's been touted as a good way to understand where gaps may exist. However, it's not a fail-safe, say some experts. Companies still need to understand that human error is an ever-present exposure.

The SANS exams cost $400 and cover the following language areas: C/C++, Java/J2EE, Perl/PHP and .Net/ASP. For more information on exam locations, visit the SANS Institute website.
