iSAQB® WEBSEC - Advanced Level Certification

The iSAQB® WEBSEC training provides a comprehensive introduction to web security and secure software architecture. Security is one of the biggest challenges in software development, as web applications face numerous threats. This module delivers practical knowledge on systematically integrating security requirements into the development process and protecting software from attacks.

Participants will learn how to identify common security risks such as injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and man-in-the-middle attacks, and how to implement appropriate protection measures. The training also covers topics such as secure authentication, cryptography, security infrastructure, and testing and monitoring methods. Best practices and widely accepted standards are introduced to help detect and mitigate security vulnerabilities early.

This course is designed for software architects, developers, and IT security professionals who want to expand their expertise in web security. After completion, participants will be able to integrate security concepts into software architectures and implement effective countermeasures against cyber threats.

• Recognize and analyze security risks – Identify common threats to web applications and their impact.
• Apply security principles in software architectures – Understand fundamental protection measures and secure development practices.
• Implement secure software development – Integrate security-by-design approaches into the development process.
• Utilize cryptography effectively – Use encryption and hashing to secure data and communication.
• Secure authentication and authorization – Implement safe login procedures and access controls.
• Defend against web attacks – Implement countermeasures against injection attacks, XSS, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Evaluate and utilize security infrastructures – Understand firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security protocols.
• Use security tools effectively – Apply analysis tools to identify and fix vulnerabilities.

The WEBSEC module is licensed by iSAQB and supports admission to the CPSA-A certification. Participants of the three-day seminar receive 30 credit points – 20 in technical competence and 10 in methodical competence. After successfully completing the seminar and submitting a written assignment assessed by iSAQB experts, participants can apply for the CPSA-A exam. Additionally, they receive a qualified participation certificate.
