Application Security Training in Lyon

This instructor-led, live training in Lyon (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate to advanced-level developers who wish to understand and apply secure coding practices, identify software security risks, and implement defenses against cyber threats.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand common security vulnerabilities in web and software applications.
• Analyze security threats and exploit techniques used by attackers.
• Implement secure coding practices to mitigate security risks.
• Use security testing tools to identify and fix vulnerabilities.

Today, numerous programming languages can compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. This environment offers robust tools for security development; however, developers must understand how to apply architectural and coding-level techniques to implement desired security features, prevent vulnerabilities, or limit their exploitation.

This course aims to train developers through extensive hands-on exercises. Participants will learn how to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, protect resources via strong authentication and authorization, manage remote procedure calls, handle sessions, and implement various functional alternatives, among other skills.

The introduction to different vulnerabilities begins by highlighting typical programming errors common in .NET development. The discussion on ASP.NET vulnerabilities covers various environment settings and their impact. Furthermore, the topic of ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities addresses general web application security challenges as well as specific issues and attack methods, such as ViewState attacks and string termination exploits.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn to utilize various security features within the .NET development environment
• Gain practical knowledge on using security testing tools
• Identify typical coding mistakes and learn how to avoid them
• Receive information on recent vulnerabilities in .NET and ASP.NET
• Access sources and further reading materials on secure coding practices
