The One Engineering Skill AI Can't Take From You
Learn how attackers actually think and how to build secure-by-default systems through guided lessons and real breach case studies
I'm Ready!
Beta cohort closes when 200 seats fill.
TRUSTED BY:
Let's be honest...
Does this sound like you?
- You’ve realized that writing features is becoming easier every year, but engineers who truly understand security are becoming more valuable, not less
- AI can already generate CRUD apps, APIs, and frontend code. But companies still cannot trust AI alone to secure production systems handling real customer data.
- Deep down, you know security is no longer optional knowledge for senior engineers. It’s becoming one of the core skills that separates trusted engineers from replaceable ones.
- You want to become the engineer who can confidently say: “I know how this system can fail, how it can be attacked, and how to secure it properly."
You’re Not Alone!
Every week, engineers comment on my YouTube videos saying things like:
“How do I secure my career in a world where AI can already generate code?”
Imagine 60 Days From Now You Had…
- a working mental model of how attackers actually think — so you spot vulnerabilities in code reviews before they ship.
- the confidence to exploit and patch real attacks yourself — JWT confusion, SQL injection, CORS misconfigs, CSRF — through 11 hands-on labs.
- the ability to design authentication, session management, and encryption flows from scratch — without copy-pasting from Stack Overflow.
- a complete security vocabulary — so you finally feel like an equal in conversations with your security team, your CISO, and your auditors.
And the best part — security isn't a one-time skill. The threat landscape evolves every quarter, and this course gives you the foundations so every new vulnerability class makes sense the moment you read about it.
INTRODUCING
Cybersecurity for Software Engineers
Cybersecurity Course for Software EngineersÂ
is the fastest and most structured way to build real security intuition without quitting your day job or pivoting your career.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand every major attack class — JWT confusion, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, CORS misconfigs, SSRF — by exploiting them yourself in hands-on labs, then patching them.
- Build secure-by-default services: auth, sessions, secrets, encryption, API design, and CI/CD security — using the same patterns top fintechs and SaaS companies use in production.
- Think like an attacker AND a defender and start catching issues in your team's PRs that security review would have missed.
This program is perfect for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack engineers, and tech leads who want to ship secure code with confidence
I'm ready!What's Included In Cybersecurity for Developers...
7 Modules · 26+ Lessons · 11 Hands-on labs · Lifetime access
MODULE 1
Foundations
Build the mental model. How the web actually works under attack, modern architectures and their failure modes, and a hands-on lab intercepting HTTP vs HTTPS traffic to see exactly what an attacker sees.
Â
MODULE 2
Identity and Access Management
The deepest module in the course. Password hashing done right, sessions vs tokens, MFA, passwordless and passkeys, JWT internals and attacks, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, RBAC vs ABAC, and enterprise IAM patterns (SSO, SCIM).
MODULE 3
OWASP Top 10
Forget memorizing the list. You'll exploit and patch real vulnerabilities yourself: SQL injection, XSS, broken access control using OWASP Juice Shop and our custom playgrounds. By the end, you'll spot these in any code review without thinking
MODULE 4
Common Attack Patterns
The attacks that actually hit production. Session and request attacks, CSRF with a hands-on token implementation lab, social engineering and phishing patterns, and a phishing detection lab. Understand how attackers chain small mistakes into full compromises.
MODULE 5
API and Cross-Origin Security
Modern APIs are the new attack surface. API security essentials, rate limiting and abuse prevention (with a hands-on lab), CORS done right, and a CORS misconfiguration lab where you'll see exactly how a single header mistake leaks user data across origins.
MODULE 6
Defensive Security and Infrastructure
The production hardening playbook. Security headers that actually matter (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) with a hands-on hardening lab, WAFs, DDoS protection, and a DDoS defense simulation. Walk away with a deployable checklist for any service you ship.
MODULE 7
Secure Development Lifecycle
Make security a normal part of how you ship code. Shift-left security and DevSecOps practices, automated security testing in CI/CD, building a secrets detection pipeline (lab), and triaging vulnerable dependencies (lab) — the same workflows used at top engineering orgs
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Himalay
I've spent over 20 years designing and securing large-scale distributed systems for companies like PayPal, Capital One, and Oracle where a single security mistake could mean billions in losses, regulatory action, or both.
Early in my career, I treated security as someone else's job, but after leading security reviews and architecture for fintech systems handling millions of transactions, I realized many talented engineers face the same challenge. That's what inspired me to create this program
Today, more than 370K+ engineers learn through my videos. Now, through Cybersecurity for Developers, I'm sharing the practical security playbook I wish I'd had ten years ago.

Who is this course for?
Do I need a security background to take this course?
What are the hands-on labs?
How is this course different from free YouTube videos?
How long do I have access to the course?
Can I take this course at my own pace?
Will the course be updated as technologies evolve?
What does “Beta” mean? Why launch now?
Will the course cover new threats like AI/LLM security and supply chain attacks?
Is there a refund policy?
What’s the Cost of Waiting?
Every month you delay, AI gets better at writing code. Every month, more engineers compete for the same shrinking pool of "just write features" roles.
The engineers who'll thrive over the next decade aren't the ones writing the most code. They're the ones who understand how systems break and how to make them unbreakable — the one skill AI can't replicate, can't take, and can't replace.
The engineers who get pulled into security architecture discussions, who lead incident response, who get tapped for senior and staff roles — they aren't smarter than you. They just have a structured mental model of how attackers think and how defenders win. This course gives you that model.
Future-proof your career. Become irreplaceable. Start today.
