OWASP Operations Playbook
RCCE students will learn the OWASP Top 10 web application security risks including injection attacks, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, XML external entities, broken access control, security misconfiguration, cross-site scripting, insecure deserialization, using components with known vulnerabilities, and insufficient logging and monitoring. RCCE students will learn to identify each vulnerability class in source code and running applications, exploit vulnerabilities in controlled lab environments, implement secure coding remediation for each risk category, integrate OWASP testing into development workflows, and use OWASP tools including ZAP and dependency-check. This operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
