GraphQL security Playbook for Teams
RCCE students will learn GraphQL API security including query depth and complexity attacks, introspection abuse, authorization bypass through nested queries, batching attacks, and GraphQL-specific injection vulnerabilities. RCCE students will learn to assess GraphQL implementations for security weaknesses, configure query depth limits and cost analysis, disable introspection in production environments, implement field-level authorization, detect and block resource exhaustion through query complexity attacks, secure GraphQL subscriptions, audit GraphQL schemas for data exposure risks, and integrate GraphQL security testing into application development pipelines. This team-oriented course builds collaborative workflows and organizational playbooks for security operations. Starting from foundational concepts, 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.
