About the Training

The Web Application Vulnerability Scanning and Penetration Testing Training teaches participants how to identify potential vulnerabilities in web applications and exploit them.

The training generally covers the following topics:

  1. Understanding the Structure and Functionality of Web Applications:
    The training explains the general structure and operation of web applications to participants. Core concepts like the HTTP protocol are emphasized.
  2. Using Vulnerability Scanning Techniques and Tools:
    Participants develop their skills in using vulnerability scanning techniques and popular scanning tools during the training.
  3. Working with Penetration Testing Techniques and Tools:
    Participants gain knowledge and experience with penetration testing techniques and tools. They also have the opportunity to conduct practical penetration tests.
  4. Recognizing Vulnerabilities and Attack Types:
    The training introduces various security vulnerabilities and attack types such as XSS, SQL Injection, and CSRF.
  5. Applying Vulnerability Mitigation and Prevention Strategies:
    Participants learn how to fix detected vulnerabilities and gain knowledge and experience in preventing future vulnerabilities.

After completing this training, participants will be able to conduct detailed vulnerability scans on web applications and perform effective and impactful penetration tests. Both skills are critical for ensuring the cybersecurity of an organization and preventing potential breaches.

Additionally, learning how to fix identified vulnerabilities is an important part of this training. Participants will learn the steps needed to mitigate vulnerabilities. They will also learn how to report identified vulnerabilities and utilize those reports effectively. This skill is essential for responding to cybersecurity incidents quickly and efficiently.

Advanced training further enriches these basic skills with deeper and more technical knowledge. These advanced courses focus more on specific tools or techniques. For example, an advanced course might teach the detailed usage of a specific penetration testing or vulnerability scanning tool. Such training helps participants specialize in a particular technology or technique, equipping them with greater expertise and skills to advance their careers in the field of cybersecurity.
