OWASP Top Ten: Risks 1-5 Course

A look at the details of the first five security risks in the OWASP Top Ten.

3 hours, 12 minutes

Course description

In this course, we will examine Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, Injection Attacks, Insecure Design and Security Misconfiguration. We’ll use demos, graphics and real-life examples to help you understand the details of each of these risks.

Syllabus

Security Misconfiguration

Video - 00:38:00
Explore common security configurations for web applications and how they can be easily misconfigured to allow attackers easy access to your data.
Insecure Design

Video - 00:37:00
Focus on risks related to design flaws. The need to "shift left" as an industry means we need more threat modeling, reference architectures, and secure design patterns and principles.
Injection Attacks

Video - 00:36:00
A look at injection attacks: how they work, what technologies are used and why they are so dangerous.
Cryptographic Failures

Video - 00:48:00
Explore the use of cryptography in web applications and show how failures in cryptography can lead to sensitive data exposure and other critical information leakage.
Broken Access Control

Video - 00:32:00
Explore Access Control (what it is, how it works) and discuss how it can be exploited to allow attackers to access your web application and other sensitive data.
