Take the next step in your career and become a certified ethical hacker
About the course
Most of the work we do on a day-to-day basis uses cloud-based apps that are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Now, with so many published vulnerabilities, it is important to learn to defend and secure your web applications. Traditional protections like firewalls alone do not secure web applications. Defenders need a deep understanding of the most critical security risks to web applications such as the OWASP Top 10. And what better way to learn to gain familiarity and defend than to attack!
The Web Application Hacking and Security (WAHS) course is an immersive, hands-on program designed to equip cybersecurity professionals with the skills to identify, exploit, and secure web applications from both existing and emerging security threats. Modeled after Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions, it challenges participants to tackle real-world scenarios based on the OWASP Top-10 web application vulnerabilities, using advanced hacking techniques. With an emphasis on experiential learning, the course incorporates the Break the Code Challenge, pushing candidates to solve progressively complex problems, including SQL injections, security misconfigurations, and privilege escalation. The course concludes with a rigorous, remotely proctored 6-hour practical exam, offering certifications at various levels based on performance, from Certified Web Application Security Associate to the elite Certified Web Application Expert.
