Web Application Penetration Testing Course

Penetration Testing and Web Security Testing (WST) are security testing systems for security vulnerabilities or security breaches of enterprise sites and Web applications. These vulnerabilities could lead to abuse on websites.

In this intrusion testing and web security course, participants learn to understand real-world Web applications and, most importantly, gain knowledge of a proven, repeatable process for reliably detecting them.

Even technology-savvy security professionals often struggle to help businesses understand the risks of their business. Much of the art of intrusion testing has less to do with the intrusion of opponents than the belief of an organization to take the risk seriously and take the appropriate countermeasures.
