Certified C# and Web application security Training in Kazakhstan

This Certified C# and Web application security Training in Kazakhstan equips developers with the knowledge and hands-on experience to secure C# and ASP.NET web applications.
It focuses on OWASP Top 10, .NET security features, and industry standards (SEI CERT, Saltzer & Schroeder).

Key topics include:

• SQL Injection

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

• Insecure Deserialization

• Authentication and Session Management

• Cryptography and Secure Framework APIs

Participants engage in hands-on labs to identify, exploit, and remediate vulnerabilities in real-world scenarios.

Regulatory Compliance (BDDK)

Fully aligned with the
Regulation on Banks’ Information Systems and Electronic Banking Services (Articles 20, 22, 23, 25).

This ensures the course meets secure software development and testing obligations required for banks and financial institutions.

By the end of this Certified C# and Web application security Training in Kazakhstan, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Identify and fix OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in .NET applications.

• Apply secure C# coding techniques to mitigate injection, XSS, and deserialization flaws.

• Implement secure authentication, session, and access control.

• Utilize .NET cryptographic APIs for encryption and key management.

• Perform security testing with OWASP ZAP, SQLMap, and Burp Suite.

• Apply SEI CERT and secure coding standards.

Graduates will be able to:

• Build secure ASP.NET applications following OWASP and SEI CERT standards.

• Conduct code-level vulnerability testing.

• Ensure BDDK-compliant secure software development practices.
