Lesson 8: Security Testing

In this lesson, we’ll dive into the crucial aspects of Security Testing, a fundamental practice in ensuring the resilience of software systems against potential cyber threats.

We’ll explore the significance of testing for security vulnerabilities in software applications and how Security Testing complements other testing methodologies. You’ll be equipped with essential methods to assess the security posture of software systems, such as penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and code review.

Understanding the OWASP Top Ten, a list of the most critical security risks facing web applications, is crucial in ensuring robust security measures for web-based systems.

Additionally, we’ll introduce you to a variety of Security Testing Tools that automate security assessments, making it easier to identify and address vulnerabilities in applications.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to conduct Security Testing effectively. Understanding security risks and utilizing appropriate tools are vital in fortifying software systems against potential cyber threats. Let’s embark on this journey of Security Testing, where we prioritize data protection and resilience in the face of evolving security challenges!
