Description

Course Length: 1 Day

Web applications continue to be the frontier of wide-spread security breaches. This tutorial will guide through development practices to ensure the security and integrity of web applications, in turn protecting user data and the infrastructure the application runs on. Several attack types and risks will be reviewed (including OWASP?s Top 10), along with how the proper development practices can mitigate their damage. Although examples covered are PHP-based, much of the content is also applicable to other languages.

Objectives

Audience: Technical, Operations, Enthusiast
Skill Level: Intermediate

Attendees will gain the knowledge required to develop secure web applications, along with an understanding of various attack types against web apps and how they are mitigated by the proper coding techniques. The main learning objectives are:
1. Developing the skills for securely coding web applications
2. Reviewing existing web vulnerabilities and their impact
3. Understanding how the proper development techniques mitigates known and some unknown web vulnerabilities

Attendees will also be provided with references for additional information on vulnerabilities, testing tools, etc.
