Web applications are at the heart of modern businesses, making them one of the most valuable targets for cyberattacks. Whether you are developing, testing, securing, or managing web applications, understanding how web applications are built, how attackers exploit vulnerabilities, and how security controls protect critical assets is an essential skill in today’s cybersecurity landscape.
This comprehensive course is designed to provide a structured and practical understanding of web application security, covering the entire journey from fundamental web architecture to secure development and vulnerability management. You will begin by exploring how web applications communicate through the client-server model, how HTTP and HTTPS operate, the role of web servers, databases, APIs, browsers, and the Document Object Model (DOM), and how browser security mechanisms help protect users.
You will also develop a strong foundation in information security principles, threat modeling, attack surface analysis, and the OWASP Top 10 framework, enabling you to understand modern web security risks from both technical and business perspectives.
