Testimonials (1)
I enjoyed refreshing my knowledge on the various subjects on cyber security. I was increasingly interested around cyber attacks, how they happen and what we (as an organisation) could potentially do to try and mitigate any risks. I did raise a question around AI in cyber attacks, and the answer was very in depth and interesting with a live example given on the spot.

21 Hours.NET, C# and ASP.NET Security Development
14 HoursToday, a variety of programming languages are available to compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. While this environment offers robust tools for security development, developers must understand how to apply architecture- and coding-level programming techniques to implement desired security functionalities, avoid vulnerabilities, or limit their exploitation.
The aim of this course is to equip developers with the ability to prevent untrusted code from performing privileged actions, protect resources through strong authentication and authorization, facilitate remote procedure calls, manage sessions, and introduce diverse implementations for specific functionalities, among other skills, through numerous hands-on exercises.
The introduction to various vulnerabilities begins by presenting typical programming problems encountered when using .NET. The discussion on ASP.NET vulnerabilities also covers various environment settings and their effects. Finally, the topic of ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities addresses not only general web application security challenges but also special issues and attack methods, such as attacking the ViewState or employing string termination attacks.
Participants attending this course will
- Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
- Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to avoid them
