API testing Playbook for Teams
RCCE students will learn API security testing methodologies including REST API testing, authentication testing, authorization testing, input validation testing, business logic testing, and API fuzzing. RCCE students will learn to plan and execute API security assessments, test API authentication mechanisms for weaknesses, verify authorization controls at the object and function level, fuzz API endpoints to discover input validation vulnerabilities, test business logic flows for manipulation opportunities, use API testing tools including Burp Suite, Postman, and custom scripts, and write API security assessment reports with prioritized remediation guidance. This team-oriented course builds collaborative workflows and organizational playbooks for security operations. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to create and implement standardized procedures that enable consistent performance across team members and shifts. Students develop the documentation, communication, and coordination skills needed for effective team-based security operations.
