Developer Edition introduces a wide array of common (and not so common) web application security vulnerabilities. Learners will be given hands-on lab exercises allowing them to attack vulnerable applications and to fully explore the impact of potentially vulnerable code.

The course is programming language neutral, aiming to equip developers with a security mindset more than a set of security functions or procedures, and will thus be of benefit to any developer who programs for the web. Language and operating system specifics are delved into where required with a focus on the major development architectures in use today. Students will be exposed to the attack vectors in common use today, as well as techniques, processes and the mindset required to protect against them. Some of the "softer" issues surrounding secure development will also be covered.

Students should leave the course with a new mindset, aware of both the real nature of the threat and of the flaws in logic that normally make them possible.

who should attend

Developers and project managers benefit hugely from this course by learning how to spot badly written code, how to prevent such errors and how to effectively integrate security and security testing into the development process for the future. Administrators and security consultants will benefit by learning how to securely deploy custom-written applications, how to detect security errors and how to provide effective remedial advice.
