Course Overview

The Web Application and API Security Hardening Expert course is a comprehensive training program designed to help professionals build expertise in web application and API security. The course covers a wide range of topics related to web application and API security including:

The course covers various security threats facing web applications and APIs, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), SQL injection, and other common web application vulnerabilities.

The course covers secure development practices, such as threat modeling, secure coding, and input validation, to help students develop secure and robust web applications and APIs.

The course covers various security topics related to web applications and APIs, including authentication, authorization, encryption, and how to harden web servers and application frameworks.

The course covers how to perform security assessments of web applications and APIs, including how to use security tools such as Burp Suite, and how to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities.

The course covers the regulations and standards that apply to web application and API security, such as OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security Top 10, and how to ensure compliance with these regulations.

The course covers how to build secure development processes, including how to incorporate security into the software development lifecycle, and how to perform regular security testing and vulnerability assessments.

Overall, this course comes with plenty of vulnerable code samples and how to harden it. And with plenty of hands-on labs, participants would be able to identify what makes an application or API vulnerable
