Web Application Security Crash Training

Overview

This Web Application Security Crash Training develops strong skills in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security risks in modern web applications. You learn web application security fundamentals, secure software concepts, vulnerability analysis, and protection techniques through hands-on demos and real-world scenarios. The course covers security policy frameworks, technical security requirements, advanced protection methods, and secure coding practices aligned with OWASP standards. It also explains how to manage operational risks, prevent code manipulation, and defend applications against real-world attack scenarios. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Identify Vulnerabilities: Detect and mitigate security risks - Apply Security Policies: Design and integrate secure requirements - Implement Protection Techniques: Use anti-tampering and code signing - Secure Application Code: Apply OWASP Top 10 standards - Manage Security Risks: Analyze and respond to real-world threats Ideal for beginners, developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals seeking practical web application security skills. No prior experience is required. Basic familiarity with programming and web technologies is recommended for faster learning.

Syllabus

Introduction and Application Vulnerabilities

Learn secure software development and web application security fundamentals with a focus on real-world application vulnerabilities. This module covers secure software concepts, application vulnerability stack, single-page applications, and microservices security. Through hands-on examples and the Uber case study, you will understand common attack surfaces, risk patterns, and best practices to identify, analyze, and mitigate modern application security threats.

Security Policies and Requirement Engineering

Learn how to design and apply security policies and integrate security into software requirements engineering. This module covers security policy frameworks, functional and operational security requirements, and practical implementation strategies. Through guided activities and real-world examples, you will gain skills in defining secure software standards, managing operational risks, and building compliance-ready systems that support reliable and secure application development.

Technical Security Requirements & Protection Techniques

Learn how to define technical security requirements and implement advanced protection techniques for secure software systems. This module covers archiving, anti-piracy, sequencing, and time-based requirements, along with anti-tampering, code signing, obfuscation, and reverse engineering prevention. Through hands-on demos and practical examples, you will gain skills to protect applications from unauthorized access, piracy, and code manipulation.

Secure Coding Practices & Application Security

Learn secure coding practices and application security fundamentals aligned with OWASP standards. This module covers software security principles and the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, including real-world attack scenarios and prevention techniques. Through hands-on demos, you will develop skills to write secure code, identify security flaws, and protect applications from common cyber threats.
