This course provides all the information you need to understand, avoid, and mitigate the risks posed by Web vulnerabilities. You are first provided with a detailed background on the most common and recent attacks against Web-based applications, such as cross-site scripting attacks and cross-site request forgery attacks. The course then delves into practical recommendations on how to avoid and/or mitigate Web vulnerabilities. Real-world examples are provided throughout the course to help students understand and defend against Web vulnerabilities.

Understand and identify the most common and recent attacks against Web-based applications
Describe the mechanisms of exploitation of Web vulnerabilities
Apply best coding practices to avoid Web vulnerabilities
Perform code reviews that detect Web vulnerabilities
Locate additional Web vulnerabilities resources

MODULES

	Recognizing the Dangers of Web Vulnerabilities In order for you to effectively mitigate Web vulnerabilities, it is important that you understand the impact of these dangers. This module provides a historical perspective on the damage these types of vulnerabilities have caused and presents detailed mechanics of major web vulnerabilities and how they lead to serious security issues. After completing this module you will be able to: Describe the Origins and Impact of Web vulnerabilities Recognize the dangers of ActiveX control misuse Recognize the dangers of cross-site scripting, canonicalization, SQL Injection, HTTP response splitting, and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities
	Challenging Security Misconceptions This module introduces several protections and best practices which if implemented properly, help mitigate the risk of web vulnerabilities in applications. Topics covered include the limitations of common mitigations, truly effective mitigations such as allow lists and frame restrictions, and SDL requirements aimed at mitigating Web vulnerabilities. After completing this module you will be able to: Recognize the limitations of common mitigations for Web vulnerabilities Recognize effective mitigations for Web vulnerabilities Recognize the SDL requirements aimed at mitigating Web vulnerabilities
	Assessment Participants will complete various self-test questions throughout the course
