Our Secure Web Development training course is a comprehensive full-day offering, specifically targeted to Small Business Web Developers who need a foundation in producing secure web sites.

Most web security training is targeted toward web application security specialists, or those who are tasked with assessing web security in larger organizations. Our course is tuned to the needs of small-team, or independent Web Developers, for whom security is often not a core part of their day-to-day activities.

Attendees are not expected to have any prior security knowledge, making this course suitable for web developers of all experience levels.

Our training is language agnostic, so whether you develop in PHP, ASP.NET or Java, you'll come away with the skills and techniques you need to produce more secure (and reliable) web sites.

Course Objectives

Attendees will learn the skills necessary to produce secure web sites. You'll have an appreciation for the types of attacks being directed at today's web sites and how to design your code to better withstand them.

Course Coverage

• The core concepts of Information Security and how they can be applied to web development.
• A look at the Dark Side: understanding common types of attacks and how web sites are compromised.
