- Overview
Course Overview
Most organizations running web applications are doing it without anyone systematically testing their security. SQL injection vulnerabilities sit undetected for months. Cross site scripting prevention never gets implemented properly. Development teams push updates without a structured security testing methodology behind them, and the gap between what was built and what can actually be exploited by a real attacker keeps widening.
That gap between having a web application and running one that actively manages vulnerabilities, attack surfaces, and security controls is exactly what Web Application Hacking and Security professionals exist to close, and what this program is designed around. The course covers web application penetration testing, how to identify and exploit web application vulnerabilities, and how to produce security documentation that drives real remediation. It sits within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio alongside information technology certifications, best tech certifications, and business Arabic course programs. New to web application security training or looking to formalize existing security experience, this program gives you the structure to get there.

- Outline
Course Outline
Day 1: Web Application Security Fundamentals and Attack Surface Analysis
- Covers the web application security course framework from the ground up, HTTP architecture, and what each attack surface means for security testers specifically
- Focuses on practical application rather than theory alone, built for those working through web application security certification preparation
- Real web application breach case studies are brought in to show what happens when web app security testing gets treated as a compliance checkbox rather than an active security discipline
Day 2: OWASP Top 10 and Web Application Vulnerabilities
- Covers the OWASP top 10 security framework in depth, web application vulnerabilities, and how to identify and assess each vulnerability class across real application environments
- Participants work through how to prevent SQL injection attacks, implement cross-site scripting prevention, and identify authentication and authorization weaknesses
- The output of this day is a practical vulnerability assessment approach that participants can take back and apply to their own applications straight away
Day 3: Web Application Penetration Testing Methodology
- Covers web penetration testing methodology in depth, how to structure a web app pentesting engagement, and how to design testing strategies that provide genuine security assurance
- Web application security testing principles are applied across reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation, so participants understand where the highest risk sits
- Hands-on lab exercises run throughout, so participants practice real web application hacking techniques rather than just reading about them
Day 4: Advanced Web Hacking Techniques and Exploitation
- Covers advanced web hacking techniques, including business logic flaws, API security testing, authentication bypass, and session management vulnerabilities across modern web application environments
- Web application vulnerability testing principles, exploitation frameworks, and producing findings that drive genuine remediation rather than just getting filed are all covered in depth
- The difference between a critical web application vulnerability, a medium-risk finding, and an informational issue is addressed so participants understand how to prioritize remediation effectively
Day 5: Web Application Security Certification Preparation and Reporting
- Commonly tested web application hacking course areas are reviewed with practice scenarios and honest feedback on where more preparation is needed
- Participants work through building a complete web application security testing report, maintaining documentation that satisfies certification and client requirements
- Everyone leaves with a structured web application security testing methodology and a clear picture of their web application security certification pathway

Certification
Participants receive a course completion certificate from the Global Industries Intelligence Corporate & Industrial Training Center. The program prepares you for web application security certification through accredited pathways. In-house training is available for organizations looking to build an internal web application security testing capability.
- Case Study
Case Study Example
A mid-sized e-commerce organization had been running web applications for years with no formal web application security testing structure in place. OWASP top 10 security controls had never been systematically assessed, SQL injection vulnerabilities had gone undetected across multiple application endpoints, and nobody had completed a structured web penetration testing engagement before any major release. An external review identified several critical web application vulnerabilities that the internal team had consistently overlooked. After a structured Web Application Hacking and Security program, the security testing process was rebuilt properly. In the following development cycle, the number of critical vulnerabilities reaching production dropped significantly. The security lead stopped treating web application risk as something outside their control.
- Why Choose
Why Choose This Program?
Web application security training that stays theoretical is not much use to someone responsible for real application security in a real organization. The Global Industries Intelligence Web Application Hacking and Security program is built around practical attack scenarios, honest preparation, and skills that transfer directly into the job. New to web application hacking coursework or looking to raise the quality of a security testing program you already run, this course gives you what the work actually requires. You may also be interested in our information technology certifications, best tech certifications, business Arabic course, and other public training courses available within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio.
