Application Penetration Testing from Security Innovation

Online, Self-Paced

Applications store, process, and transmit data making them susceptible and vulnerable to hackers who can identify and exploit vulnerabilities. Penetration testing of these applications acts as a safeguard to reduce vulnerabilities and attack surface. This course provides learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform penetration tests that simulate how attackers might attempt to compromise the software applications.

Learning Objectives

On successful completion of this course, learners should have the knowledge and skills required to:

Perform scans to understand how the target application will respond to various intrusion attempts
Gain access to web application attacks, such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection and backdoors, to uncover a target’s vulnerabilities
Maintain access to determine if the vulnerability can be used to achieve a persistent presence in the exploited system
Analyze the results of the penetration test and compile them into a report
