Armed with knowledge about the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities from Security Compass’ e-learning courses, developers can use the interactive training lab to gain deeper insights on how these vulnerabilities impact and affect applications in development. The training lab includes multiple exploit scenarios, including a vulnerable banking application simulation, in which developers are guided through exercises covering secure software design, secure software coding, and other development processes that play a critical role in minimizing an organization’s cybersecurity risk.

“Professionals are increasingly seeking innovative ways to learn new skills, and test this knowledge in a safe environment,” said Lauren Park, Director of Training at Security Compass. “As a leader in cybersecurity training solutions, Security Compass equips developers with the knowledge to protect against the latest cybersecurity risks impacting their organization’s products.

Going forward, this will be included with the subscription.

The training lab is the latest example of Security Compass’ ongoing efforts to build a world where technology is trusted.
