Companies are relying on web applications to promote their business and services. These web applications are often very complex and yield a high attack service.  Often these web applications are accessible from the internet. Additionally, these web applications are handling sensitive data, which will seriously harm a company’s reputation if leaked. Even though given these facts, many web applications are still poorly secured. It was never easier for attackers to hack confidential company data and seriously harm a business.

Therefore there is a high need for cyber security professionals that protect these web applications from malicious attackers. To be proficient in web application security, a student needs to know the fundamentals of the web, before diving into web application vulnerabilities. Also, a student needs to practice their skills in a dedicated lab.

This course goes over common web application vulnerabilities and how to exploit them. In this course you will learn about:

• Web Application Penetration Testing
• Web Application Technologies
• Building a dedicated web application penetration testing lab
• Common web vulnerabilities, why they occur, how to exploit them, and how to remediate them
• Exploiting vulnerabilities with Kali Linux and Burp Suite
• What to learn next

This course is suited for beginners in cyber security who want to make their first learning steps toward web application security.
