In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to apply simple security testing techniques to your everyday work and build confidence in tackling security risks. From URL manipulation and bypassing UI validation to SQL injection and threat modelling, each lesson introduces practical, easy-to-apply techniques you can use right away.

By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of security testing fundamentals, the ability to identify and test for common vulnerabilities, and a plan for incorporating security testing into your workflow.
