AppSec for Developers
A highly-practical class that targets web developers, pentesters, and anyone else wanting to write secure code, or audit code against security flaws. The class covers a variety of the best security practices and in-depth defense approaches which developers should be aware of while developing applications. The class also covers some quick techniques which developers can use to identify various security issues throughout the code review process.
Students can access our online lab which is purposely riddled with multiple vulnerabilities. Students will receive demonstrations and hands-on practice of the vulnerabilities to better understand and grasp the issues, followed by various techniques and recommendations on how to go about fixing them. While the class covers industry standards such as OWASP Top 10 and SANS top 25 security issues, it also covers real world issues like various Business Logic and Authorization flaws.
Features:
Covers latest industry standards such as OWASP Top 10 with practical demonstrations of vulnerabilities complemented with Hands-on Lab practice.
Insight into the latest security vulnerabilities (such as Host Header Injection, XML Entity Injection,Web-Services and API Security).
Thorough guidance on the best security practices (Introduction to various Security Frameworks and tools and techniques for Secure Development).
