Security Testing Fundamentals

At a time when cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, secure software development is essential. During this Security Testing Fundamentals training, you will learn the basics of security testing and discover how to recognize and exploit vulnerabilities in applications – before attackers do.  

This hands-on training will give you insight into the most common security risks and provide practical testing strategies to effectively identify these risks. You will work with realistic scenarios, security tools and techniques that professionals use every day to make applications more secure.

After following the two-day training you can test applications for the most common security risks according to the OWASP top 10. This makes it possible to have security tests take place in the regular development process and thus already cover a large part of the security risks at an early stage.

What will you learn?

During this training the following topics will be covered:

• Information security framework
• Application security
• Social Engineering
• Secure Development Lifecycle
• Introduction and deepening Security Testing
• Getting information
• Client-side controls
• Authentication
• Input validation
• Logic errors
• Sessions & Server
• The OWASP top 10
• Tools and resources

What are you going to do?

This training makes use of various deliberately insecure programmed applications. You will work hands-on with finding security problems based on  the OWASP Top 10.

Who is this training suitable for?

This training is suitable for anyone interested in Security Testing and who wants to use the skills to test the most common security risks. This training is particularly suitable if you are involved in quality and testing in the development chain.

What prior knowledge do you need?

For this training general IT-knowledge is required.
