Content

Studies show that more than 90% of all web applications have serious security flaws, although effective countermeasures exist for most types of attacks. Vulnerabilities are mostly found in architecture and design, in application logic, in program code, in 3rd party libraries or in deployment and configuration.

Based on the OWASP Top 10, you will learn about the current attack methods on (web) applications and how effective protective measures should be taken
