OWASP Troubleshooting
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 diagnostic course focuses on identifying, analyzing, and resolving common failures, misconfigurations, and operational issues. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn systematic troubleshooting methodologies that accelerate root-cause analysis and minimize downtime. Students work through realistic break-fix scenarios that build the diagnostic confidence needed for high-pressure production environments.
