InfoSec Institute: Information Security Training
Application Security Training: Web Application Hacking
The latest frontier in information security is undoubtedly application security. The average sized organization has hundreds of in-house and externally developed applications. With business processes increasingly moving towards the web services and the software-as-a-service model catching on, many organizations today are exposing data and critical business services to untested or insecure applications.
These applications with inadequate or non-existent security are a veritable treasure trove for malicious hackers. Most hackers have realized that enterprise-class organizations have firewalls in place and have a working patching policy for externally available hosts. Increasingly, the first route in to a critical database containing customer information, credit card data, proprietary data or classified information is through a vulnerable application.
InfoSec Institute’s Application Security: Web Application Hacking will position you as an able and ready Application Security Professional. You will gain skills on how to assess applications from a hacker’s point of view, understand application security vulnerabilities and learn how to close these security holes so they are never exploited by a hacker.
Application Security: Web Application Hacking is a unique offering in the security industry. While some security courses may brush over application security, or cover the security of small-scale “demo” applications, InfoSec Institute concentrates on the latest application security attacks against modern, enterprise, applications.
This hands-on course teaches you:
- The fundamentals of modern Application Security on both .Net and Java platforms
- Application security threats and assessment/attack techniques
- The latest threats to Web Services and AJAX-enabled applications
