OWASP 2021 Virtual AppSec Training Program

All developers today are also DevSecOps engineers even if they are not aware of it. In this Bootcamp, you will learn how to secure cloud-native Java microservices. First, we will look into what are the common security risks for server-side applications. Then we will directly dive into the hands-on coding parts to see how we can mitigate those security risks in our own applications. Specifically, we'll see how the security patterns are implemented with the most widely used frameworks Spring Boot (main focus) and Micronaut (partly). In the last part, you will also learn how to implement automated security tests along the testing-pyramid.


Learning Objectives:
- OWASP Top 10 (Web Application Security Risks)
- OWASP API Top 10 - Securing Spring Boot applications
- Securing Micronaut applications - Authentication and Authorization
- Basic Auth, Session Management, MTLS, WebAuthn
- OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
- Configuring HTTPS connections
- Encryption and password hashing
- Security response headers
- Defense against Session Hijacking, SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF
- Securing both blocking servlet-based and non-blocking reactive web applications
- Automated security tests

Managing comprehensive security for continuous delivery of applications across organizations continues to remain a serious bottleneck in the DevOps movement. The methodology involved in implementing effective security practices within delivery pipelines can be challenging. This training is designed to give a practical approach of implementing Security across Continuous Delivery Pipelines by leveraging the plethora of cloud offerings and is backed by a ton of hands-on labs, original research and real-world implementations of DevSecOps that work. The training starts with Application Security Automation for SAST, SCA and DAST, apart from Vulnerability Management and Correlation. Finally, the training concludes with leveraging Security Automation in the Cloud with detailed perspectives of implementing scalable security for cloud-native deployments. By the end of this training, attendees will have ideas and hands-on experience to successfully kickoff DevSecOps implementations.

This course is the culmination of years of experience gained via practical penetration testing of mobile applications as well as countless hours spent in research. We have structured this course around the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and relevant items of the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), so this course covers and goes beyond the OWASP Mobile Top Ten. This course provides participants with actionable skills that can be applied immediately from day 1.

Please note our courses are 100% hands-on, we do not lecture students with boring bullet points and theories, instead we give you practical challenges and help you solve them, teaching you how to troubleshoot common issues and get the most out of this training. As we try to keep both new and advanced students happy, the course is very comprehensive and we have not met any student able to complete all challenges during the class, therefore training continues after the course through our frequently updated training portal, for which you keep lifetime access, as well as unlimited email support.

Each day starts with a brief introduction to the mobile platform for that day and then continues with a look at static analysis, moves on to dynamic checks finishing off with a nice CTF session to test the skills gained.

Day 1: Focused specifically on Android: We start with understanding applications and then deep dive into static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. This day is packed with hands-on exercises and CTF-style challenges.

This course is the culmination of years of experience gained via practical penetration testing of Modern Desktop applications as well as countless hours spent doing research. We have structured this course around the OWASP Security Testing Guide, it covers the OWASP Top Ten and specific attack vectors against Modern Desktop apps. This course provides participants with actionable skills that can be applied immediately from day 1.

Please note our courses are 100% hands-on, we do not lecture students with boring bullet points and theories, instead we give you practical challenges and help you solve them, teaching you how to troubleshoot common issues and get the most out of this training. Training then continues after the course through our frequently updated training portal, for which you keep lifetime access, as well as unlimited email support.

Each day starts with a brief introduction to the Modern platform (i.e. Node.js, Electron) for that day and then continues with a look at static analysis, moves on to dynamic checks finishing off with a nice CTF session to test the skills gained.

Day 1: Focused on Hacking Modern Desktop Apps: We start with understanding Modern Desktop apps and various security considerations. We then focus on static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. The day is filled with hands-on exercises ending with a CTF for more practical fun.

Building security into the software development and management functions of a company can be a daunting task. There are many variables in the equation: company structure, different stakeholders, technology stacks, tools and processes, and competing priorities. Implementing software assurance can have a significant, positive impact on the organization. Yet, trying to achieve this without a good framework is likely to produce only marginal and unsustainable improvements. The OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model provides a structural and measurable framework to overcome this challenge. It enables you to formulate and implement a strategy for software security that is tailored to the risk profile of your organization.

This 8-hour training - delivered as a mix of presentation, discussion, and interactive workshop - is intended for CSOs, directors, security architects, security analysts, and other application security professionals with responsibility for improving your organization's security posture. You will leave with an in-depth understanding of OWASP SAMM, pragmatic steps and tools for increased agility and compliance, and a template to kickstart your Application Security Assurance Program. Protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data by implementing an application security assurance program in your organization - ASAP!
