Proactive Web Defense

3 Days | Face to Face

Exploit the vulnerabilities of a web application – as if you were behind the screen of an attacker.

The exploitation of a single security flaw in a web application can easily lead to a fully-fledged security breach. This course uses step-by-step tutorials and practical exercises to give participants a tangible and thorough understanding of the modern offensive mindset and its capabilities. The focus is on providing guidance on secure coding best practice and defensive programming strategies to make web applications more robust and resilient to attacks.
