Application Security Training in Porto

This instructor-led, live training in Porto (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate to advanced-level developers who aim to comprehend and apply secure coding practices, identify security risks within software, and implement defenses against cyber threats.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp common security vulnerabilities in web and software applications.
• Analyze security threats and exploit techniques employed by attackers.
• Implement secure coding practices to mitigate security risks.
• Utilize security testing tools to identify and rectify vulnerabilities.

Today, numerous programming languages can compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. While this environment offers robust tools for security development, developers must understand how to apply programming techniques at both the architecture and coding levels. This knowledge is essential for implementing desired security features, avoiding vulnerabilities, and limiting potential exploitation.

This course aims to equip developers with the skills to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, protect resources via strong authentication and authorization, manage remote procedure calls and sessions, and implement various functional alternatives. Through extensive hands-on exercises, participants will gain practical insights into these critical areas.

The discussion on vulnerabilities begins by examining common programming errors encountered when using .NET. The analysis of ASP.NET vulnerabilities further explores various environment settings and their impacts. Additionally, the course addresses ASP.NET-specific security challenges, including general web application security issues and specialized attack vectors such as ViewState manipulation and string termination attacks.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices
• Identify web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn strategies to avoid them
• Utilize the various security features available in the .NET development environment
• Acquire practical experience with security testing tools
• Recognize typical coding mistakes and understand how to prevent them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities affecting .NET and ASP.NET
• Access resources and further reading materials on secure coding practices
