DEV522: Defending Web Applications Security Essentials 
September 17-22, 2018
Certification: GIAC Certified Web Application Defender (GWEB)

DEV522: Defending Web Applications Security Essentials is intended for anyone tasked with implementing, managing, or protecting Web applications. It is particularly well suited to application security analysts, developers, application architects, pen testers, auditors who are interested in recommending proper mitigations for web security issues, and infrastructure security professionals who have an interest in better defending their web applications.

 

Author Statement: Too many websites are getting compromised these days. The goal of DEV522 is to arm students with defensive strategies that can work for all web applications. We all know it is very difficult to defend a web application because there are so many different types of vulnerabilities and attack channels. Overlook one thing and your web app is owned. The defensive perimeter needs to extend far beyond just the coding aspects of web application. This course covers the security vulnerabilities so that students have a good understanding of the problems at hand. We then provide the defensive strategies and tricks, as well as the overall architecture, that have been proven to help secure sites. I have also included some case studies throughout the course so we can learn from the mistakes of others and make our own defense stronger. The exercises in class are designed to help you further your understanding and help you retain this knowledge through hands-on practice. By the end of the course, you will have the practical skills and understanding of the defensive strategies to lock down existing applications and build more secure applications in the future.

 

"DEV522 provides good web application basics and gives an excellent understanding of application from security perspective."

Tarun Madiraju, NOPSEC


"As the world moves everything online, DEV522 is a necessity."
