If you are looking for a course that provides good coverage of the important top 10 security vulnerabilities in Web Applications shortly and concisely then you have come to the right place !!  This course is relevant whether you are looking for applications that are deployed on the cloud or physical servers and VMs since web application vulnerabilities don’t magically disappear just because the application is deployed on the cloud.

This course is focused on practical learning and applying your knowledge. To achieve that the course includes tutorials on how to install the Xampp server and vulnerable applications on your machine so that you can practice what you are learning rather than just watch the tutorials.

Many courses mainly focus on how to exploit the vulnerabilities of physical servers but with the cloud being the preferred way nowadays to deploy applications and also with advances made in securing physical servers learning those techniques may not prove to be very advantageous.
