AppSec Training for Developers
This 2 day class has being written due to the increasing need for developers to code in a secure manner
In this 2-Day Intermediate hands-on course delegates will gain an understanding of application security vulnerabilities including the industry standard OWASP Top 10 list and learn strategies to defend against them.
Attendees will be able to:
- Understand OWASP Top 10 with practical demonstrations and deeper insight
- Understand the financial repercussions of different vulnerabilities
- Get on the same page with the security team while discussing vulnerabilities
- Build a system with continuous security monitoring
- Identify and Fix security vulnerabilities much earlier in the SDLC process saving time and effort
Delegates receive:
- Apart from the various tools and content around the course Delegates will also be provided with a 7-day lab access where they can practice all the exercises/demos shown during the course.
For security and IT decision makers
What’s the real impact of training your team through NotSoSecure?
Make your organisation a less attractive target to attackers by building a team that can write code resistant to complex, modern attacks, without losing business functionality and development speed. Trained delegates can:
- Write secure application code resilient to a variety of web-based attacks in the OWASP top 10.
- Understand how attackers identify vulnerabilities in code, and the impact of this, so they can adopt more secure ways of working.
- Identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities earlier on in the development lifecycle.
- Use a vocabulary of risk and exploitation to work more effectively with security practitioners.
- Understand the business impact of application security and articulate this to key stakeholders.
- Take on greater responsibility in the team and become an advocate of security in the wider business.
Pen testing (security testing) as an activity tends to capture security vulnerabilities at the end of the SDLC and then it is often too late to influence fundamental changes in the way the code is written.
This course has been written by developers turned Pen Testers who can help developers to code in a secure manner as it is critical to introduce security as a quality component into the development cycle.
Throughout this class, developers will be able to get on the same page with security professionals, understand their language, learn how to fix or mitigate vulnerabilities learnt during the class and get acquainted with some real-world breaches, for example, “The Equifax” breach in September 2017. Various bug bounty case studies from popular websites like Facebook, Google, Shopify, Paypal, Twitter etc will be discussed explaining the financial repercussions of application security vulnerabilities like SSRF, XXE, SQL Injection, Authentication issues etc.
The techniques discussed in this class are mainly focused on .NET, Java and NodeJS technologies owing to their huge adoption in various enterprises in building web applications. However, the approach is kept generic and developers from other language backgrounds can easily grasp and implement the knowledge learned within their own environments.
Students will be required to participate in a CTF where they’ll be required to identify vulnerabilities in code snippets derived from real-world applications.
The class is a highly practical class that targets web developers, pen testers, and anyone else wanting to write secure code, or audit code against security flaws. The class covers a variety of best security practices and in-depth defense approaches which developers should be aware of while developing applications. The class also covers some quick techniques which developers can use to identify various security issues throughout the code review process.
Students can access our online lab which is riddled with multiple vulnerabilities. Students will receive demonstrations and hands-on practice of the vulnerabilities to better understand and grasp the issues, followed by various techniques and recommendations on how to go about fixing them. While the class covers industry standards such as OWASP top 10 and SANS top 25 security issues, it also covers various real world issues such as the business logic and authorization flaws.

Audience
This class is ideal for Software/Web Developers, PL/SQL Developers, Penetration Testers, Security Auditors, Administrators, DBAs and Security Managers. Prior pen-test experience is not mandatory, however, some knowledge of cloud services and a familiarity with common command line commands will be beneficial.
Pre-requisites
The only requirement for this class is that you bring your own laptop with the latest version of Java (JDK) installed. Attendees will be provided with access to our online lab which has been built on the latest .NET ASPX framework and all the tools and materials required during the class.
