DEV300 Hardening PHP Web Apps

Course Overview Web applications are routinely the source of many security vulnerabilities, especially as more and more move to the cloud. However, this is despite the fact it is often simple to fix most web applications vulnerabilities, before the code is released into the wild. The ‘Hardening PHP Web Apps’ course walks students through the list of the OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities common in web application code and demonstrates various methods of secure coding to harden web applications. Specifically, the course focuses on examples A1 through A8 of the top ten list. Each module contains instructor-led video lecture content to introduce the vulnerability and explores various mitigation measures, specific to each vulnerable code example. Each module also includes an interactive hands-on lab component, in which the student has the chance to experiment with real solutions to discover why some seemingly adequate code remediations are insufficient and others are more appropriate. The stud
