FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked
questions about Application Security
Which languages and frameworks does Application Security cover?
We have a comprehensive list of supported languages and frameworks, many of which are also available in varying degrees of difficulty. Even the best experts can learn a lot from our labs:
- Python*
- Java*
- Java Spring
- JavaScript Frontends:
- Vue.js
- Angular
- React
- Node.js*
- TypeScript*
- C#*
- C++
- Go
- PHP
- Ruby on Rails
*These languages also feature API specific series
What key areas are covered within Application Security?
We cover a huge range of topics within Application Security, all designed to help teams assess their capabilities, build their coverage and ultimately prove their cyber resilience:
- OWASP Top 10*
- CWE 25*
- Secure Fundamentals
- TLS Fundamentals
- Secure Coding
- Secure Testing
- Secure Operations
- Secure Engineering
- Secure Headers
- Introduction to Content
- Security Policy (CSP)
- API Security Collections
What will developers actually do in order to learn?
- See first-hand how attackers exploit vulnerabilities and the impact they pose
- Fix vulnerabilities in a way that retains the application’s functionality
- Experiment by modifying code or configurations, observing the impact on exploit attempts, and impact on application functionality
How is this different from other cyber security developer training?
At Immersive Labs, we understand that the best way to learn is through doing. A good developer learns from their mistakes, but a great developer also learns from the mistakes of others. In order to learn, we provide teams with a wide range of common security errors in code and configurations to identify and fix. By offering hands-on AppSec experiences, your teams’ knowledge, skills, and judgment on secure coding, secure operations and secure testing will improve. Here are some things you won’t do:
- Complete endless multiple-choice questions which are tedious and ineffective learning methods
- Be spoon-fed answers. Our content is created to develop and enhance your understanding and skills – challenging you is a part of that!
- Ultimately, this creates a far more skilled, confident, and productive team, that can prove their competency and resilience
What are the benefits of this solution?
- Developers are able to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, increasing productivity
- Hire and upskill junior developers and DevSecOps professionals to reduce hiring costs
- Save money by identifying vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC
- Address compliance mandates related to secure coding
