Web Security Testing - Security and Testing of Web Applications using OWASP ( owasp | 21 hours )

• A general understanding of web development lifecycle
• Experience in web application development, security, and testing.

Audience

• Developers
• Engineers
• Architects

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an online community that creates freely-available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the field of web application security.

OWASP offers web security testing guides (WSTG), frameworks, and tools for identifying vulnerabilities in web applications and services

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers, engineers, and architects seeking to secure their web apps and services.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to integrate, test, protect, and analyze their web apps and services using the OWASP testing framework and tools
