Of Apps Have OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities

The vast majority of web applications contain at least one OWASP Top 10 vulnerability.

$4.45M

Average Cost of a Data Breach

The average cost of a data breach reached $4.45 million in 2023, a record high.

292 days

To Identify & Contain a Breach

Organizations take an average of 292 days to identify and contain a data breach.

Overview

What You'll Learn

Five comprehensive modules covering secure coding practices, vulnerability prevention, and security-first development workflows.

OWASP Top 10 Defense

Understand and defend against the most critical web application security risks, from injection attacks to broken access control and security misconfigurations.

Secure Code Review Practices

Learn security-focused code review techniques, static analysis integration, and how to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Secrets & Dependency Management

Master secrets management with vaults and environment variables, and protect your supply chain from dependency confusion, typosquatting, and vulnerable packages.

DevSecOps Pipeline Security

Secure your CI/CD pipelines, container images, and infrastructure as code. Build security into every stage of your software delivery lifecycle.

Attack Scenarios

Real-World Examples You'll Analyze

Every scenario in this course is based on actual vulnerabilities and incidents encountered in production environments.

Injection Attack

The SQL Injection in Search

A search endpoint concatenates user input directly into a SQL query. An attacker crafts a UNION-based injection to extract the entire user database, including hashed passwords.

Secrets Exposure

The Leaked AWS Keys on GitHub

A developer commits AWS credentials to a public repository. Within minutes, automated scanners detect the keys and spin up cryptocurrency mining instances, costing thousands.

Supply Chain

The Malicious NPM Package

A typosquatted package mimics a popular library with a single-character name difference. It exfiltrates environment variables, including database credentials, on install.

Dependency Risk

The Unpatched Log4j Instance

A critical Log4Shell vulnerability goes unpatched for weeks because the team lacks dependency visibility. Attackers exploit it to gain remote code execution on production servers.

Who It's For

Built for Development Teams

From backend engineers to DevOps leads, this course equips every technical role with the security knowledge they need.

Backend Developers

Secure APIs, databases, and server-side logic

Frontend Developers

XSS prevention, CSP, and client-side security

DevOps Engineers

Pipeline security, container hardening, IaC

Tech Leads

Security architecture and team standards

FAQ

Common Questions

Is this relevant for frontend developers?

Absolutely. Frontend developers face unique security challenges including cross-site scripting (XSS), content security policy configuration, secure token storage, and safe handling of user input. Several modules address client-side security patterns directly.

Do we need this if we have a security team?

Yes. Security teams can't review every line of code. When developers understand secure coding patterns, they catch vulnerabilities at the source, reducing the burden on security teams and dramatically lowering the cost of fixing issues found later in the SDLC.

What languages and frameworks does this cover?

The course teaches language-agnostic security principles that apply across all tech stacks. Examples are drawn from popular frameworks including Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, and .NET, but the core concepts apply to any language or framework your team uses.

How does this integrate with our SDLC?

The course covers practical integration points including pre-commit hooks, CI/CD pipeline security gates, code review checklists, and threat modeling for new features. Developers leave with actionable steps they can implement in their existing workflows immediately.
