Web applications are vulnerable to many types of attacks to which traditional client-server applications are not as susceptible. These vulnerabilities, over the past several years, have resulted in attacks that have exposed companies to monetary losses and reputational damage.

In this online course, you’ll learn about these vulnerabilities and the techniques that you can use to mitigate risks. You’ll use an interactive virtual lab in which you’ll be given an opportunity to identify flaws and manipulate systems, exercise your hacker-prevention skills, and perform ethical hacking.
