- Duration
- Number of hours
Even if you are the only one registered, the session will still take place (except in cases of force majeure).
Description of the Application Security Training Course
This application security training course will enable you to identify common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), avoid them from the design stage onwards, secure your code, APIs and data, and deploy robust, compliant applications.
Attacks targeting web and mobile applications are on the rise. XSS, injection, poor rights management, unsecured APIs… It is now crucial to integrate security throughout the entire application lifecycle.

Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Even if you are the only one registered, the session will still take place (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
This training course is part of our Cybersecurity Training. Discover our other cybersecurity courses to strengthen your IT system protection against current threats.
objectives of of the Application Security Training Course
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Understand the most common types of attacks on applications.
- Integrate security best practices into code (input validation, session management, cryptography).
- Test and fix vulnerabilities with appropriate tools (SAST, DAST, ZAP, Burp, etc.).
- Securing communications (HTTPS, TLS, CORS, CSP).
- Applying security in APIs (authentication, authorisation, tokens, rate limiting).
- Integrating security into a DevSecOps pipeline (CI/CD).
- Understanding legal and regulatory aspects (developer responsibility).
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of web or mobile development (HTML, JS, PHP, Python, Java, etc.).
- Comfortable with an IDE and a local or cloud deployment environment.
- No need for cybersecurity knowledge (beginner to intermediate level)
Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
Target Audience
Ideal for front-end/back-end developers, DevOps, testers, tech leads, or anyone wishing to professionalise their application security practice.

FAQ – Application Security Training
What is application security?
Application security is the discipline of designing, building, and maintaining software so that it resists attacks throughout its lifecycle. It covers secure coding, dependency management, threat modeling, authentication, input validation, secrets management, and runtime protections like WAFs and RASP. It’s a core part of any modern DevSecOps practice. MFE-IT trains developers and security teams on identifying and remediating the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities through hands-on labs.
What are the OWASP Top 10?
The OWASP Top 10 is the most widely recognized list of critical web application security risks, updated periodically by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project. The 2021 edition includes Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, Injection, Insecure Design, Security Misconfiguration, Vulnerable Components, Authentication Failures, Software & Data Integrity Failures, Logging Failures, and SSRF. Our MFE-IT application security training covers each item with code-level examples and concrete mitigation patterns.
How do you secure a web application?
Securing a web application starts with input validation and output encoding, then authentication and session management, secure dependencies (SCA), HTTPS everywhere, security headers (CSP, HSTS), proper error handling, and regular penetration testing. Add a WAF in front, log security events, and patch quickly. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners build a defense-in-depth strategy applied to their own technology stack.
Is application security part of DevSecOps?
Yes, application security is the core technical foundation of DevSecOps. DevSecOps integrates security into the entire CI/CD pipeline through SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and IaC checks — automating what was traditionally a late-stage manual review. The MFE-IT application security training covers how to embed security gates into Git workflows, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps pipelines without slowing down delivery.
