Description
The training includes a variety of practical exercises, for which our comfortable mobile training environment is used. The vulnerabilities are understood by the participants by solving tasks of varying degrees of difficulty and then discussed in the group.
The training environment allows participants to use their own laptop with their individual working environment, without artificial adaptation to the training environment. The use of a suitable pentest environment, such as Kali Linux or Blackarch, is recommended, but is not a requirement.
All content can be specifically adapted for you in consultation with you!

Your Benefit
Our training courses not only impart knowledge, they also change mindsets. Your developers will learn to identify security vulnerabilities early on and avoid them in a targeted manner. The result: more robust applications, more confidence - and a clear advantage in everyday project work.
All trainers are actively working Security Consultants. They contribute their experience with everyday problems, which often conflict with security requirements, and thus contribute to a pragmatic, realistic approach to security.
- Practical methods instead of theory to avoid typical security gaps in web applications and mobile apps.
- Content according to the latest standards by actively working, experienced Security Consultants.
- Secure coding for long-term maintainability and quality of the source code.
- Increased security awareness in the team prevents pitfalls at an early stage.
- Protection against liability risks & damage to reputation.
