Course Overview

8 Hours

32 Lessons

14 Cloud Labs

Ideal for: Security Engineer / Product Security Teams

The AppSec Essentials training is a specialised course on Application Security Attacks and Defences. The class is meant for Developers, Security Engineers and Architects to understand Application Security concepts, and explore hands-on labs and challenges around Application Security Attacks and Defensive implementation.

While we’d be using OWASP Top 10 2021 as a reference point for this training, the training will dive deep into Web Application vulnerabilities that are relevant to web applications and APIs that are currently being leveraged by attackers against real-world applications.

In addition to vulnerabilities, the training will be replete with hands-on labs around defensive implementations. These implementations will provide a multifaceted approach to effectively defending web applications and APIs against these vulnerabilities.

Threat modeling has always been a bit elusive for my team, but these courses made it all click. The step-by-step breakdown of threat modeling concepts and integrating them into a DevSecOps pipeline gave us some solid, actionable learnings.

DEFENSE INDUSTRY

“Threat modeling is seriously underrated compared to other security activities that have more visible impact. Fact of the matter is, if you can anticipate and build around potential threats to your software, that’s going to make a much bigger difference than if you set up a million defenses after the fact. These courses taught me how to do that!”
