Application Security Testing and Debugging
Application Security Testing and Debugging involves finding software vulnerabilities through testing and fixing issues to ensure secure, functional code, protecting against potential cyber threats.
Overview
This course includes:
- On-demand videos
- Practice assessments
- Multiple hands-on learning activities
- Exposure to a real-world project
- 100% self-paced learning opportunities
- Certification of completion
In today's digital landscape, application security is not optional—it's essential. With cyber threats evolving rapidly and data breaches making headlines daily, organizations desperately need skilled professionals who can identify, analyze, and resolve security vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them.
This comprehensive course transforms you from a security novice into a confident application security testing professional. You'll master both automated and manual testing techniques, learn to think like an attacker, and develop systematic debugging skills that separate expert security practitioners from the rest.
Skills You Will Gain
