AppSecOps Training
Our suite of defensive courses are aimed at helping Developers understand and mitigate application security vulnerabilities.
A 4 day course to help you to understand and mitigate application security vulnerabilities, combining our DevSecOps and AppSec for Developers courses
AppSec for Developers
This class has being written due to the increasing need for developers to code in a secure manner. It is critical to introduce security as a quality component into the development cycle. This class aims at educating developers about various security vulnerabilities.
DevSecOps
DevSecOps extends DevOps by introducing security early into the SDLC process, thereby minimizing the security vulnerabilities and enhancing the software security posture.

Outline of the course:
Application Security testing (Also known as whitebox testing) as an activity tends to capture security vulnerabilities at the end of the SDLC and is often too late to be able to influence fundamental changes in the way code is written.
If you are a developer who requires mitigation strategies or fails to understand issues like Cross-Site Scripting, XML, External Entity attacks, Deserialization issues, Content-Security Policy and many more application security vulnerabilities and their remediation then this class is for you!
If you are Manager responsible for handling a development team and would like to give a good dose of security knowledge so that you can avoid application security bugs in your code, then you are at the right place!
If you are a DevOps engineer wondering how to automate security into your pipeline, then this course will teach you on how to metamorphose your DevOps to DevSecOps. If you would like to avoid breaches like that of Equifax, then sign up now!
