The goal of SEC542 is to better secure organizations through penetration testing, and not just show off hacking skills.
Information security professionals often struggle with helping their organizations understand risk in terms relatable to business. Along the way, students follow a field-tested and repeatable process to consistently find flaws.
Students will come to understand common web application flaws, as well as how to identify and exploit them with the intent of demonstrating the potential business impact.
SEC542 gives novice students the information and skills to become expert penetration testers with practice, and fills in all the foundational gaps for individuals with some penetration testing background.
Anyone can learn to sling a few web hacks, but effective web application penetration testing requires something deeper. Modern cyber defense requires a realistic and thorough understanding of web application security issues. Adversaries increasingly focus on these high-value targets either by directly abusing public-facing applications or by focusing on web apps as targets after an initial break-in. Unfortunately, there is no "patch Tuesday" for custom web applications, so major industry studies find that web application flaws play a major role in significant breaches and intrusions. Even beyond the importance of customer-facing web applications, internal web applications increasingly represent the most commonly used business tools within any organization. SEC542 helps students move beyond push-button scanning to professional, thorough, high-value web application penetration testing.Ĭustomers expect web applications to provide significant functionality and data access. Unfortunately, many organizations operate under the mistaken impression that a web application security scanner will reliably discover flaws in their systems. But, if your organization does not properly test and secure its web apps, adversaries can compromise these applications, damage business functionality, and steal data. With LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.Web applications play a vital role in every modern organization.

What a customer chose, we had to make sure that it operated." Functionality and features were relevant for the customers. Those are the more important and pertinent aspects as far as we were concerned. Additionally, you can set up different VLANs, and overall it is a complete solution." "Because the setup is so easy, this is a solution that can be used at a moment's notice." "The most valuable features of the VMware Workstation solutions are the ESXi and vCenter." "The most valuable features of VMware Workstation are the speed of access and quality of upgrade. It is very easy to use." "The technical support is good." "The most valuable features of VMware Workstation are the DirectX support, you can run Microsoft Hyper-V in virtual environments which is good for me to test different installations. It helps us a lot." "I haven't faced any inconveniences working with this solution.
We have an individual copy of Windows installed on the virtual machine, so anybody can access that. For example, if a program needs a specific security policy, we don't have to use the shared configuration. "The performance is good." "It will not harm any of the computer settings to run a specific program.
