Why should I take this course on Cybrary and not somewhere else?

Cybrary is the first cybersecurity education platform to release exclusive, updated course content for the new OWASP Top 10 list that was released on September 24th, 2021. The list has been significantly revised since the release of the last 2017 top 10 list, as the new list combines, reorders, and adds new web application vulnerabilities. OWASP has focused on more data-centered research in their creation of the new top 10 list.

Each Cybrary OWASP Top 10 (2021) course includes:

Engaging video overview lessons that summarize each category and list of CVEs covered, as well as describe how the category in the 2021 list is distinctive from how the category was presented in the 2017 list

Guided demos in platforms such as OWASP Mutillidae

Written scenarios that highlight the relevance of the OWASP Top 10 web application vulnerabilities in real-world ransomware attacks and data breaches, including the 2021 Colonial Pipeline Hack and the 2017 Equifax Breach. You will gain insights of the history and significance of these incidents.

Custom hands-on labs created by our vendor partner, Cydefe, which allow you to identify, exploit, and mitigate these critical vulnerabilities, as well as offer remediation advice to clients.
