In this 12-video course, learners will discover security aspects focusing on OWASP Top 10 2017 Item A3: Sensitive Data Exposure, Item A2: Broken Authentication and Item A1: Injection. Key concepts covered in this course include details about OWASP Top 10 2017 Item A3, sensitive data exposure, and how data are transmitted over networks; how to prevent sensitive data disclosure through mitigating and protecting; and how to enable BitLocker encryption for a web server disk volume. Next, learn details about OWASP Top 10 2017 Item A2, broken authentication, and learn how to secure authentication; observe how to enable multifactor authentication (MFA) for an Amazon Web Services user account; and learn how to retrieve sensitive data through password reset pages. Finally, learn details about OWASP Top 10 2017 Item A1, injection - how attackers feed malicious input to a web application; and how to validate user input before allowing submission for execution.
