This instructor-led, live training in Charlotte introduces the system architectures, operating systems, networking, storage, and cryptographic issues that should be considered when designing secure embedded systems. By the end of this course, participants will have a solid understanding of security principles, concerns, and technologies. More importantly, participants will be equipped with the techniques needed for developing safe and secure embedded software.

Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) is a form of application security testing that combines Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) or Runtime Application Self-protection (RASP) techniques. IAST is able to report the specific lines of code responsible for a security exploit and replay the behaviors leading to and following such an exploit. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to secure an application by instrumenting runtime agents and attack inducers to simulate application behavior during an attack.   By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Simulate attacks against applications and validate their detection and protection capabilities
• Use RASP and DAST to gain code-level visibility into the data path taken by an application under different runtime scenarios
• Quickly and accurately fix the application code responsible for detected vulnerabilities
• Prioritize the vulnerability findings from dynamic scans
• Use RASP real-time alerts to protect applications in production against attacks.
• Reduce application vulnerability risks while maintaining production schedule targets
• Devise an integrated strategy for overall vulnerability detection and protection

Audience

• DevOps engineers
• Security engineers
• Developers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Description: This course will give the participants thorough understanding about security concepts, web application concepts and frameworks used by developers in order to be able to exploit and protect targeted application. In today’s world, that is changing rapidly and thus all the technologies used are also changed at a fast pace, web applications are exposed to hackers attacks 24/7. In order to protect the applications from external attackers one has to know all the bits and pieces that makes the web application, like frameworks, languages and technologies used in web application development, and much more than that. The problem is that attacker has to know only one way to break into the application and developer (or systems administrator) has to know all the possible exploits in order to prevent this from happening. Because of that it is really difficult to have a bullet proof secured web application, and in most of the cases web application is vulnerable to something. This is regularly exploited by cyber criminals and casual hackers, and it can be minimized by correct planning, development, web application testing and configuration. Objectives: To give you the skill and knowledge needed to understand and identify possible exploits in live web applications, and to exploit identified vulnerabilities. Because of the knowledge gained through the identification and exploitation phase, you should be able to protect the web application against similar attacks. After this course the participant will be able to understand and identify OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities and to incorporate that knowledge in web application protection scheme. Audience: Developers, Police and other law enforcement personnel, Defense and Military personnel, e-Business Security professionals, Systems administrators, Banking, Insurance and other professionals, Government agencies, IT managers, CISO’s, CTO’s.
