Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll write secure Java code for handling potentially untrusted data in web applications. You’ll build systems that can protect against data from web app forms; safely handle cookies, headers and redirects; and set up secure authentication mechanisms. Finally, you’ll manage your third-party libraries and identify potential vulnerabilities using Software Composition Analysis (SCA). Insecure third-party libraries can add vulnerabilities to your otherwise secure application and have been used in several recent real-world compromises.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
