Training
Identifying vulnerabilities is only part of an effective application security solution. Protecting a company's applications and proprietary data requires everyone involved in the development process to be properly educated in secure coding techniques and development best practices.
GDS offers advanced security training courses designed to teach techniques for testing application security and building secure applications. Classes cover professional application testing fundamentals and common security development pitfalls. All GDS training courses include live demonstrations, interactive examples, and quizzes to reinforce the concepts taught during the class. GDS primary training offerings are outlined below.
Application Testing & Hacking
The GDS Application Testing and Hacking class teaches students to identify and exploit application vulnerabilities using the same techniques as professional application penetration testers and real-life attackers.
Secure Application Development
The GDS Defensive Application Development course is a "code centric" class designed to teach application developers and architects the principles of secure application development. Defensive application design and coding techniques are illustrated through hands on exercises and labs.
Custom Application Security Training
GDS offers customized training sessions following the completion of an application security assessment designed to debrief developers on the identified vulnerabilities and to share recommendations on how to mitigate or eliminate the security exposures.
