IMTalent | GIAC Web Application Penetration Tester (GWAPT)

Overview

Web applications play a vital role in every modern organisation, but if your organisation does not properly test and secure its web apps, adversaries can compromise these applications by damaging business functionality and stealing data. Many organisations operate under the misconception that a web application security scanner will reliably discover flaws in their systems. GIAC Web Application Penetration Tester (SEC542) helps students move beyond push-button scanning to become a professional, thorough and high-value web application penetration tester. The course also enables students to assess a web application's security posture and convincingly demonstrate the impact of inadequate security that plagues most organisations. In addition to high-quality course content, SEC542 focuses heavily on in-depth, hands-on labs to ensure that students can immediately apply all they learn.
