View Course Syllabus  Enroll Now  

 

  Because the web is exploding faster than most other technologies, legacy systems in the enterprise are being replaced at a rapid rate. Browser-based applications powered by web servers and back-end databases are constantly being evaluated and updated. With every application that an enterprise brings online or an e-business that goes live, malicious hackers are waiting to attack.

This ultimate web-security class provides security professionals and application designers with the knowledge and tools to recognize vulnerabilities, develop countermeasures and perform ongoing assessments of web security. In a hands-on setting, instructors provide demonstrations on how attackers can access sensitive corporate information with little more than a web browser.



This course qualifies for up to 32 hours of CPE for CISSP/SSCP and 28 hours of CE for CISA/CISM holders.

What Will You Learn?

  Unique in the security-training industry, Ultimate Hacking: Web will show you not only the latest techniques for exploiting web-based applications, but also how to defend your organization against these weaknesses. Participants learn how to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that can affect any web site, as well as attacks against Web 2.0, thick-client and mobile phone applications. Hands-on lab exercises reinforce the course material in a real world environment.

Why Do We Teach This?

  As web technology mushrooms, vulnerabilities multiply and hackers are continuously looking to take advantage of them. In today’s environment, the way into a company’s network is often right through its home page. Attackers no longer need back doors or sophisticated tools to compromise a system. Security professionals need to learn how to secure and monitor their web-enabled enterprise by identifying vulnerabilities that can be exploited both internally and externally.
