Learn Path Description

Get practical, hands on experience in cybersecurity Cyber security breaches can have devastating impacts on businesses, with an average cost per data breach of $3.92 million. If you work within cyber security or want to bring more preventative measures to your company, this ExpertTrack will help you build on basic cyber security knowledge to develop your understanding further. This ExpertTrack will teach you how to identify, mitigate, prevent and recover from some of the biggest threats in cyber security. You can use these skills to bring security remedies to your workplace. Delve into password security and attacks Though passwords are still widely used, it’s important to recognise their vulnerabilities to avoid potential cyber security breaches. You’ll gain practical experience of how password attacks happen, and gain insight into cyber security techniques and tools that can prevent malicious attacks from happening. You’ll also learn how to set up an effective environment for security testing so that you discover first-hand the different methodologies that can be used to bypass passwords. This will develop your understanding of the vital practice of conducting a thorough security assessment and penetration test. Learn how to increase network security Network attacks are a growing problem, which can have severe impacts on your work networks. On this ExpertTrack, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to understand the different types of attacks that can occur on your network, such as spear phishing, and learn how to use security tools to help prevent them. You’ll also learn the key ways of dealing with disaster recovery, should a cyber attack happen. Understand risks to web applications using the OWASP Top 10 Through a hands-on practical approach, this ExpertTrack will give you an in-depth insight into web application risks and how to increase software security in practice. You’ll dive into the OWASP Top 10, the standard awareness document about the largest risks to web applications, and learn how to use common exploitation techniques to see the impacts of these risks. By the end of this comprehensive ExpertTrack, you’ll feel confident of both the theory and practical application of password security, and understand the practices you need to implement to enhance password protection.

Advanced Cyber Security Training: OWASP Top 10 and Web Application Fundamentals

Software vulnerabilities can be hard to understand if you only read about them. This 2-week course will help you take a practical approach. This course will help you gain a better understanding of web application security risks and show you how to exploit them. This course is practice-oriented and will make you more secure. It will also teach you how to avoid vulnerabilities in your own applications. The OWASP Top 10, a document that provides a guideline on the most dangerous web applications, is available. Each risk will be reviewed and discussed. Then you'll learn how to exploit them in order to see the vulnerability in practice. Learn how to exploit at least ten vulnerabilities in a web application that is deliberately vulnerable. These critical security risks can be identified and managed by learning how to fix vulnerable code. You'll be able to understand the consequences of security breaches by putting into practice common exploitation techniques. These include XXE, XML External Entities, Cross-Site Scripting (Cross-Site Scripting), and Insecure Deserialization. The course will also cover the threat agents that can affect your software security, and how you can prevent them from executing harmful activities. You'll feel confident in increasing the security of your organization and the Software Development Lifecycle.
