Zero-Trust Approach to OWASP Top 10
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 zero-trust course applies modern security principles including least privilege, continuous verification, and explicit trust evaluation. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to implement zero-trust architectures that assume breach and verify every access request regardless of network location. Students build practical zero-trust implementations that align with organizational security modernization goals.
