Security testing techniques scour for vulnerabilities or security holes in applications. These vulnerabilities leave applications open to exploitation. Ideally, security testing should be implemented throughout the entire software development life cycle (SDLC) so that vulnerabilities may be addressed in a timely and thorough manner. Unfortunately, testing is often conducted as an afterthought at the end of the development cycle.
About this workshop
Traditionally, security has been handled with a large focus on the network. Security budgets are allocated to defenses that are understood, not defenses that reduce the most risk. Many people understand what a firewall does but the problem is that a firewall will only mitigate certain threats. With the rise of service-oriented architecture and the fact that more and more data is moving through port 80, the threat of a weak application is huge no matter how many firewalls you put in front of it. Making security part of the software development life cycle (SDLC) reduces risk and provides strategic advantage.
The entire training is driven by hands-on exercises
and case studies to ensure that all aspects
have a real-life scenario-based approach.
Each participant will be provided with fully configured
machines with all the tools and test images loaded.
