Hands-On Labs

Assessing Application Security

In today’s app-enabled world it is more important than ever for security practitioners to work with their organization to ensure digital assets are adequately protected against attacks. In most cases, internet-facing applications are the primary targets for attackers. Applications, when not properly hardened and secured, create the entryway for criminals to gain access to sensitive data or even allow for the complete compromise of the underlying system. Whether the application is bought, built or acquired, it is important to consider its vulnerabilities and the types of attacks that might be used to exploit them. This hands-on practical lab will explore the foundations of how to assess an application’s security.
