The Web Application Hacking and Security program leads to a fully online, remotely proctored practical exam that challenges candidates through a gruelling 6-hour performance-based, hands-on exam. The exam assesses candidates’ skills and proficiency on a broad spectrum of OWASP Top-10 web application vulnerabilities and attack vectors. The assessment is not limited to only understanding automated exploitation frameworks but requires a deep understanding of various web application technologies, their inherent and acquired vulnerabilities, and manual exploitation techniques.
The exam focuses on candidates’ proficiency in performing a web application security assessment in a real-life, stressful scenario. Candidates who score more than 60% will earn the Certified Web Application Security Associate certification, candidates who score more than 75% will be awarded the Certified Web Application Professional certification and candidates who score more than 90% attain the prestigious Certified Web Application Expert certification!
