Program Overview This comprehensive and practical 3-week bootcamp introduces its participants to the notions of common and important problems of today’s digital and computing world in terms of security. The bootcamp is of two parts:
During web application penetration testing, the software being evaluated is a web application kept on a remote server that users may access via the internet. Because web applications are obvious targets for hackers, web application developers must conduct regular penetration testing to ensure that their web applications are free of security flaws and malware threats.
Program Objectives At the end of the bootcamp, participants will have a better understanding of the modern cybersecurity threats, the measures of avoiding several “dangerous” habits and uses of today’s business IT infrastructure and avoid being victims of fraud(s) or attacks on the internet. Finally, the participants will get some real hands-on experience through real examples on how to evaluate the security of web applications on the Internet and perform penetration testing.
Program Outline The workshop is delivered through lectures, class discussions, individual and group case studies, practical usage of software and network tools, and assessment. The topics to be covered include the following:
Note: Practical sessions and exercises will use virtualized environments that will not endanger individual property and will not cause any harm.
Summary
This program is an excellent opportunity for everyday IT users to get a detailed and concrete knowledge of good practices regarding cybersecurity and understand basic notions about various attacks like viruses and worms and basic countermeasures, network attacks, penetration testing, and risk assessment.
