iSAQB CPSA-Advanced Web Security (WEBSEC)

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.

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.

The training is designed for software architects, developers, IT security professionals, and technical decision-makers who want to enhance the security of web applications and integrate security concepts into software architectures. It is ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of web security and protection against cyber threats.

Basic knowledge of web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), network communication, and software architecture is required. Experience in web application development is beneficial.
