Explore Common Web Application Vulnerabilities, How to Implement and Test Attack Defenses & More.
Embark on a comprehensive journey into web application security with our two-day seminar-style course, "Securing Web Applications / 2021 OWASP Top Ten and Beyond". Designed for web developers and technical stakeholders, this course equips you with the foundational concepts of defensive and secure coding. You'll learn to move beyond the "penetrate and patch" approach, integrating security into your applications from the get-go, leading to robust, resilient software.
Throughout the engaging course, you’ll delve into the best practices for defensively coding web applications, addressing the 2021 OWASP Top Ten and several other vital vulnerabilities. Learn from the mistakes of the past as we dissect real-world examples of poorly designed web applications, providing you with stark illustrations of the potential fallout when security best practices are not adhered to. Our security expert will guide you on the process of integrating security measures into your development lifecycle, ensuring you build secure applications from the ground up.
The course goes beyond theory, offering practical skills directly applicable to your work: ethical hacking, bug hunting, detection, and mitigation of threats to authentication and authorization functionalities. You'll understand the mechanics and threats of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Injection attacks and comprehend the risks and mitigation strategies associated with XML processing, software uploads, and deserialization.
Unlike many courses that are self-guided or delivered by less experienced trainers, this course is led by a seasoned web application security expert who shares practical insights, best practices, and real-life experiences, adding invaluable depth to your learning journey. You’ll exit this course well-versed in these technologies, equipped with practical skills, plus the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate in your professional environment. With engaging expert-led lectures, interactive discussions, and insightful demos, this course will provide you with the skills required to begin your journey to building safer, stronger web applications.
This is an overview-level course ideally suited for web developers, software engineers, system administrators, and other technical stakeholders who are involved in the design, development, or maintenance of web applications. Security professionals looking to deepen their understanding of web application vulnerabilities and defense mechanisms would also greatly benefit. Moreover, project managers and leaders who wish to ensure their teams are following best practices for secure application development will find this course valuable in shaping their strategic direction.
This is not a hands-on course, however its helpful if you have:
This course will walk you through how to recognize actual and potential software vulnerabilities and implement defenses for those vulnerabilities. You will explore most common security vulnerabilities faced by web applications today, examining each vulnerability from a coding perspective through a process of describing the threat and attack mechanisms, recognizing associated vulnerabilities, and, finally, designing and implementing effective defenses.
This course combines engaging instructor-led presentations and useful demonstrations with valuable hands-on labs and engaging group activities. Throughout the course you’ll:
