Overview
The Web Application Security programme by TimesPro is a self-paced online course that delivers comprehensive coverage of the techniques, tools, and frameworks used to secure modern web applications against a wide range of cyber threats. As digital transformation accelerates across industries, web applications have become primary targets for malicious actors, making web application security one of the most critical and in-demand skill sets in the technology sector. This programme addresses that need by taking learners from foundational security concepts through to advanced hands-on exploitation and defence techniques. The curriculum is structured around the OWASP Top 10 framework, widely recognised as the industry standard for web application vulnerability classification, and covers real attack vectors including XSS, SQL Injection, DNS attacks, and DDoS, alongside the corresponding mitigation strategies. Practical lab sessions allow learners to apply concepts in a safe, controlled environment using both simulated and live targets. The programme also covers web application firewalls, encryption standards, SSL certificates, and information gathering techniques used in professional security assessments. Regulatory compliance and risk management considerations are addressed, preparing learners for enterprise security roles. The self-paced format ensures flexibility for working professionals, students, and career changers looking to enter the cybersecurity field.
Why Technology & Analytics?
The Web Application Security programme offers a uniquely practical and hands-on approach to cybersecurity education that sets it apart from theory-heavy alternatives. Rather than focusing solely on concepts, the curriculum integrates lab exercises, live target testing, and real-world case studies that mirror the challenges faced by professional security analysts and penetration testers. Coverage of the OWASP Top 10 ensures learners are aligned with globally recognised industry standards from day one. The programme's depth across XSS variants including reflected, stored, DOM-based, and filter bypass techniques, combined with union-based and blind SQL injection, provides a thorough grounding in the most prevalent and dangerous web vulnerabilities. DNS security, DDoS mitigation, web application firewall configuration, and encryption round out a curriculum that prepares learners for real enterprise environments. The self-paced delivery removes barriers for working professionals, and the affordable one-time fee makes professional cybersecurity training accessible. TimesPro's institutional backing adds credibility to the certification, supporting career advancement in a field with strong and growing demand.

Curriculum
The Web Application Security programme is structured as a single comprehensive module covering the full spectrum of web application security knowledge and practice. The curriculum opens with a course introduction and foundational topics including an introduction to web application vulnerabilities, information gathering techniques, and basic terminologies essential for security professionals. The OWASP Top 10 framework is introduced early to provide a structured view of the most critical web application risks. The module then delivers deep coverage of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) from background concepts and basics through to precautions, exploitation techniques, filter bypass methods, DOM-based XSS, and manual XSS vector construction, supported by lab exercises on reflected XSS, stored XSS, and live target testing. SQL Injection is covered from conceptual foundations through lab setup, injection point identification, blind SQL injection, and union-based SQLi. DNS security is addressed with concept, attack, and defence coverage. Additional topics include Web Application Firewall configuration, case studies, encryption, SSL certificates, and DDoS concepts with attack and mitigation strategies. Lab setup and practical demonstrations are integrated throughout.
There are 1 semesters in this course
The single module titled Web Application Security is organised as a progressive learning journey from fundamentals to advanced exploitation and defence. It opens with a course introduction followed by an overview of web application vulnerabilities and the information gathering techniques used in professional security assessments. Learners establish a foundation with basic security terminologies before engaging with the OWASP Top 10, the globally accepted classification of the most critical web application risks. The XSS section is the most extensive in the module, covering the background and conceptual basis of cross-site scripting, the basics of XSS attacks, XSS precaution strategies, and a lab setup for hands-on practice. Lab exercises cover reflected XSS, stored XSS, XSS on live targets, XSS exploitation, filter bypass techniques, DOM-based XSS, and manual XSS vector construction, providing comprehensive practical coverage of this critical attack class. The SQL Injection section covers the background concept, lab setup, finding injection points, blind SQL injection, and union-based SQLi techniques. DNS security is addressed through concept explanation, attack scenarios, and defensive measures. The module also covers web application firewall setup and case studies, encryption principles, and SSL certificate fundamentals. DDoS concepts, attack methods, and mitigation strategies complete the technical content of the module.
