Description of Rapid AppSec Guide: OWASP Top 10 Training
This concise training course delivers essential knowledge for securing software systems. You’ll start with the foundations of application security, exploring terminology, objectives, and how AppSec integrates into both traditional SDLC and DevSecOps workflows. Then, you'll dive deep into the OWASP Top 10, covering real-world examples of the most critical security issues facing web applications.
Topics include cryptographic failures, broken access control, software integrity, injection flaws, and more—each explained with practical insight and clear takeaways. The course is designed for rapid absorption and real-world relevance.
- Understand what makes an application vulnerable
- Learn how to apply AppSec in agile development pipelines
- Break down OWASP’s most critical categories with examples
- Discover key prevention and mitigation strategies
- Improve your ability to communicate about security within your team
This course is great for quickly learning how to spot and fix key web application security issues like vulnerable components, authentication failures, data integrity flaws, and weak security logging.

Kieran T.
This course got straight to the point. I finally understand the OWASP Top 10 and how each vulnerability affects my code. Perfect for developers who need clear examples and fast explanations.
Melissa R.
Great introduction to AppSec! It helped me connect secure coding practices to the development lifecycle and gave me the basic knowledge I needed to address common software vulnerabilities like security misconfiguration and monitoring failures. A solid step toward improving software security and reducing security risks.
Rahul V.
I liked the direct approach and real-world breakdowns of each vulnerability. It’s ideal if you want a solid security foundation without a lot of fluff. A few more visuals would’ve made it perfect.
