Course Description
The OWASP: Threats Fundamentals course is part of a series of training courses on the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). This course covers the fundamental concepts and techniques to identify different types of threats. The course also teaches the students to improve the security by avoiding misconfigurations, data exposure and insecure cryptography.
The OWASP Foundation was established with a purpose to secure the applications in such a way that they can be conceived, developed, acquired, operated, and maintained in a trusted way. All of the OWASP tools, documents, forums, and chapters are free and open to anyone interested in improving application security. This course along with the other courses in the series on OWASP provides a basic overview of the concepts that form an integral part of the OWASP core values.

Informs exactly as it advertises. This is a great stepping stone toward other more advanced classes in Web Application Intrusion.

This course helped me realize usefulness of OWASP Top 10 project. Thanks.
By Conrad Alcala on 8/23/2022
Example helped with understanding of each topic. I did not know that it was not going to cover the full list. Even though the list being referenced is outdated, the information is still valuable as these threats still exist.

This course was super helpful. Thank You! However, it needs to get updated as per the latest structure i.e at least once in a year. The top 10 OWASP list was of 2013 and not of the year 2022.
By Anonymized User on 7/6/2022
The course information is somewhat dated, the OWASP top 10 is completely different from 2013, 9 yrs ago (2018 update did not refresh this info.) Recommend periodically updating to keep up with new threats and new technology.

Great learning place about the security vulnerabilities! The lengthy sessions needs to be broken down to smaller sessions, though.

Excelente explicación sobre el proceso de construcción de la OWASP top 10 y así como el proceso de búsqueda y recopilación de información útil para analizar la seguridad de una aplicación web
By Nicole Tester on 5/25/2021
I really liked this class. I thought the instructor was very knowledgeable and gave great examples how to use the OWASP homepage to access important Docs. I also likes the coding examples used to explain why these security items are important. The only con about this course is the data for OWASP was a little behind. Using 2013 standards for 2021 is not the best, but I understand it is difficult to keep up with the changes.

Fresh view on vulnerabilities that broadened my horizons. "Ever Vigilant" is the stance to take to protect our systems and infrastructure. Thank you so much.
