Learn about web application security needed by software engineers every day.

Web App Security

The applications that we create for the web today have to face up to more security risks than ever before. It is extremely important that software developers enforce security best practices, such as how to add protection through HTTP headers, to protect against the myriad vulnerabilities that web applications are subject to. 
In this module, we’ll start by learning how to prevent fraudulent SSL certificates from being served to clients. Then, we’ll move on to learning how to defend against XSS attacks and clickjacking. 
In the latter half of the module, we’ll learn security practices related to HTTP cookies. We’ll also learn some tips related to security tradeoffs that we frequently make in our day-to-day work. Towards the end of the module, we’ll learn how to ward off DDoS attacks, which is crucial when our application scales. 
This module will demystify web security and help us stay on top of important security-related concerns in our web applications.

Web Application Security for the Everyday Software Engineer

## Ethical hacking
We are about to enter one of the final chapters of this course! After this brief overview of DDoS attacks and services we could use to prevent them, we are going to take a sharp turn and dive into the world of ethical hacking.

It would be great to have an unlimited amount of security researchers look at our services and let us know whether a vulnerability is lurking somewhere. It would also be fair to reward those researchers in case their findings lead to an improved security posture for our firm.

The next chapter introduces an amazing vehicle for all of this to happen, enter bug bounty programs.

But first, let's take a quiz to test your knowledge of DDoS attacks!
