How does an attacker break into a web application without being noticed? And what security challenges do web developers and integrators face in their day-to-day work?
If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, then this course is for you!
Penetration testing is a popular assessment method among companies because they regularly need to ensure that their websites or web applications can withstand attacks.
Cybersecurity professionals carry out a penetration test on behalf of a client or project sponsor, stepping into the shoes of an attacker to determine whether a system is vulnerable. They will typically find vulnerabilities during their work and report them to the client. The client then has the information they need to secure their system and protect it from external attacks!
In this course, you’ll learn how to perform a penetration test on a web application, from start to finish!
Starting with a client’s request to help test the vulnerability of their web application, you’ll work step by step with a professional penetration tester to prepare an effective work plan to be discussed and agreed with the client. You’ll also familiarize yourself with the environment where the web application is running and then analyze its content and behavior. From this preliminary work, you’ll be able to identify the web application’s vulnerabilities, which you can then summarize clearly and accurately in a document presenting the results.
