Security

Security throughout the entire stack. For secure communication, applications, and data.

Security

Why Web Security is So Critical

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the damage can be immense. In 2023 alone, over $8 trillion was lost worldwide to cybercrime. Web applications are often the preferred target. Security goes far beyond technical implementation – it must be considered at every step of development. The earlier security concepts are built in, the better risks can be minimized.

DevCraft Academy: All Facets of Security

Our goal is to train developers not only to write secure code but also to recognize and defend against potential threats. Security isn't a nice addition – it's a must.

The Focus Areas of Our Security Training:

  • OWASP Top 10: This list of the most common security risks for web applications is essential knowledge. From SQL injections to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) – we show you how to protect yourself from the most common attack vectors.

  • CSRF and XSS: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) are two of the most dangerous attack types on the web. You'll learn how to detect them early and prevent them effectively.

  • Secure Authentication and Authorization: Strong passwords aren't enough. You'll learn how to implement secure login mechanisms and ensure that users only see what they're supposed to see.

  • OAuth: A must when it comes to enabling secure access to APIs. We show you how to implement OAuth correctly to ensure data protection.

  • Social Engineering, Phishing & Co.: Technology alone isn't enough – people are often the weakest link in the chain. Learn how attackers gain access to data through social engineering and phishing, and how to protect yourself and your team.

  • SSL-Stripping, Eavesdropping, Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: No security without encryption. We explain how to use SSL/TLS correctly and what risks arise from insecure connections.

  • Secure Architecture & Design: Security doesn't start with code. A well-thought-out security architecture ensures your application is resistant to attacks before it even goes live.

  • Cryptographic Concepts: We dive deep into the world of encryption. You'll learn how symmetric and asymmetric cryptography work and how to implement secure data transmission and storage.

  • HTTPS, SSH & Digital Signatures: HTTPS is the standard, but there are many ways to get it wrong. We show you how to guarantee secure connections, use SSH correctly, and utilize digital signatures for authentication.

Why DevCraft Academy?

Our program is designed so you can immediately get into practice. With us, you don't just learn theoretical concepts – you apply them directly in real scenarios. Our seniors are industry experts who show you how to make your web applications secure from the start – without compromises.

Security is not an option – it's mandatory. Anyone developing for the web today must understand how attackers think and take the right measures. At DevCraft Academy, we make you a security professional who not only builds secure applications but also understands how important prevention is. Get ready to close security gaps before they even arise.
