Introduction to Summer Bootcamp

We're back! ZION UNIVERSITY organizes for the second year in a row a summer bootcamp about web application security. During 3 days, attendees learn to think as a hacker. Our security experts teach about the newest hacker tools and hacker techniques to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications.  

The target of this bootcamp is to create awareness and to get a clear view on the way hackers think. This enables you to do a basic evaluation of your applications on your own and to write secure code. Armed with this information, you will have the knowledge to better protect web applications against external threats like hackers and malware.

Last year we were honoured to welcome some respected organizations like for example Colruyt and Portima.

Program

The Bootcamp will be organized the first week of July and August 2010 during the first three days of these weeks.

We start the week with an introduction to the actual problems concerning web application security. We discuss the OWASP initiative, statistics and many more. We continue the day with an open discussion on how to implement a secure development lifecycle within your organization. To conclude we discuss the most common vulnerabilities in web 1.0 and web 2.0. Full program
On Tuesday we organize several hands-on sessions about tools like Wikto, Crowbar, Suru,... to test web applications. After the lunch break we proceed with WebGoat, a Java web application that contains lessons with specific vulnerabilities like SAX Injection, web services SQL Injection, Cross-site-scripting, .... Full program
On the third and final day we explain how a web application firewall can protect you against the most common vulnerabilities. We discuss how you have to install, configure and monitor such a specific firewall. Using WebGoat we trace vulnerabilities in a fictive website and we show in real-time how a web application firewall prevents leaks from being exploited.  Full program

Who should attend?

This summer bootcamp mainly focuses on three categories of profiles, namely developers, security officers and IT managers.

Registration

The number of registrations is limited because our experts desire to work with small groups to create interactivity. You are not obligated to register for the three days. In other words it is possible to only register for the days you are interested in.

Please contact one of our representatives for more information or prices by phone (016/29.79.22), by mail (sales@zionsecurity.com) or by filling in a contact form through our website.
