Securing Your Website Training

Description of this Securing Your Website Training Course

No matter how well designed a website is, it remains vulnerable to numerous threats if security is not built in from the outset. Web attacks target data, reputation and system stability.

This “secure your website” training course enables you to understand, detect and correct common security vulnerabilities, while implementing best practices for secure development. You will learn how to secure exchanges, data and sessions, prevent injections or cross-site scripting, and prepare for automated attacks.

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 this Securing Your Website Training Course

By the end, each participant will be able to :

  • Understand the most common types of attacks on websites.
  • Identify the vulnerabilities listed by OWASP Top 10.
  • Implement secure development practices on the front-end and back-end.
  • Secure forms, cookies, tokens, and user sessions.
  • Protect exchanged data (HTTPS, encryption, CORS, CSP, etc.).
  • Respond quickly in the event of an intrusion or suspected exploitation.

Prerequisites

  • Proficiency in website creation or management (HTML, PHP, JS, WordPress, or other)
  • Basic knowledge of HTTP, databases, web architecture
  • No prerequisites in cybersecurity

Because each participant is unique, a personalised interview with our expert allows us to design a training course that is perfectly aligned with their objectives, level and professional challenges.

FAQ – Securing Your Website Training

Securing a website requires several layers: HTTPS with valid certificates, security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), input validation and output encoding, secure authentication and session management, regular updates of CMS and dependencies, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS protection, encrypted backups, and monitoring with alerting. No single measure is sufficient — defense in depth is the rule. MFE-IT trains site owners and developers on each layer with concrete configurations.

The most common website attacks in 2026 are credential brute-forcing, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), CSRF, file upload exploits, supply chain attacks via vulnerable dependencies, DDoS, and bot scraping. WordPress and other CMS platforms see large volumes of automated exploitation against unpatched plugins. The MFE-IT Securing Your Website training covers each attack type with detection and mitigation.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) inspects HTTP traffic to detect and block common attacks before they reach your application — SQL injection, XSS, file inclusion, and bots. Cloud WAFs (Cloudflare, AWS WAF, Azure Front Door) are easy to deploy without infrastructure changes. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners configure a WAF in front of a sample site and watch attacks blocked in real time.

Securing WordPress requires keeping core, themes, and plugins up to date, using strong unique passwords with MFA on admin accounts, limiting login attempts, restricting file editing in the admin, hardening file permissions, installing a security plugin (Wordfence, Solid Security, Sucuri), and adding a CDN-based WAF. Regular backups complete the picture. Our MFE-IT training course on Securing Your Website includes a strong WordPress hardening track.
