Securing Web Applications, Services and Servers: Hands-On

 
Course: 940     Type: Hands-On Training     Duration: 4 Days

Quick Enroll    

You Will Learn How To
  • Implement and test secure Web applications in your organization
  • Identify, diagnose and correct the most serious Web application vulnerabilities
  • Configure a Web server to encrypt Web traffic with HTTPS
  • Protect Ajax-powered Web 2.0 applications
  • Secure XML Web services with WS-Security
  • Audit Web application security with source-code and application scanning

Course Benefits
Attackers today are targeting Web application vulnerabilities more than operating systems and networks. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to obtain confidential information and compromise organizational integrity. As a result, organizations must integrate robust security measures into the Web application development process. This course provides in-depth, hands-on experience securing Web-based applications and host servers.

Who Should Attend
Those who want to implement, test and deploy secure Web applications. Experience developing Web applications and a basic knowledge of Web server administration are assumed. No prior knowledge of security is required.

Hands-On Training
Throughout this course, extensive hands-on exercises based on an evolving case study provide you with practical experience in securing applications. Exercises include:
  • Creating a trust boundary with proper input validation
  • Avoiding cross site scripting (XSS) and cross site request forgery (CSRF/XSRF)
  • Preventing SQL injection vulnerabilities
  • Implementing URL access restrictions
  • Detecting unauthorized file system modification
  • Enabling HTTPS on a Web server
  • Protecting Web services with WS-Security
  • Identifying vulnerabilities with an application scanner
