No matter what the size of an organization, one needs to ensure that the confidential information is protected properly, as any breach in the security can cost companies. A properly executed security program extends the safety boundary by noting down all potential threats and by designing a plan that could tackle all the attacks.

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/18/2016 -- According to a report by The Times of India Tech, 7 out of 10 hacking attacks are done through web applications. Some key findings of the report states that 155 .gov and .nic domains were hacked in 2014. 58% of these attacks were for financial gains and the rest 42% were by foreign governments to acquire confidential information. In 2015, 185 million mobile users were accessing the internet from a highly vulnerable platform. 91% of the newly designed websites had SQL injection vulnerability and 97% were prone to cross scripting attacks.

The attacks are becoming frequent because the workforce of several companies is not trained to tackle advanced security breaches. Busy schedules or training centres at distant locations are some of the reasons for individuals not being able to stay updated. To solve this problem of workforce, Hack2Secure is opening up a new centre in Bangalore.

In this training level, the individual is given some rough knowledge about cryptography.

Level3: Intermediate

Security testing engineers, developers, security testers and auditors and security administrators can start training from this level.

Key Take Away: The individuals who receive training at this level gather knowledge about the reconnaissance, Google hacking, buffer overflow and essential security checks. Secure SDLC and common causes of the security defects also form the part of curriculum at this training level.

Level4: Tools and Techniques

Anyone involved with security testing such as security administrators, engineers, security testers and auditors are suitable for attending this level of training.

Key take away: The training program is dedicated to strengthen the roots of knowledge regarding topics like NMAP. In-depth knowledge about the testing tools like BURP site and traffic analysis tool is also given. One can go for this level of training to acquire grip on WIRESHARK, NESSUS and METASPLOIT FRAMEWORK for securing applications and programs.

Level5: Advanced

An individual who has the desire to dig out all the concepts of security methodologies, risk and threat management can enrol in this level of training.

Key Take Away: As the name "advanced" suggests, training of this level deals with threat modeling for application security, breaking web application security, incident handling and security attacks.

The new centre in Bangalore will offer these courses and more to individuals interested in earning technical knowledge.

Any individual after attaining training from any of the levels become capable of coping with complex security issues. To book a seat at the new training centre, please call +91-9008178676 or visit www.hack2secure.com.

The cyber world is becoming more and more vulnerable. In a rush to earn online profit, small and medium sized businesses are launching their website without understanding that they are giving hackers access to private information. To eliminate such a situation, it is important to implement application security testing.

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/24/2016 -- According to a survey by IBM(International Business Machines Corporation), 75% of the company owners stated that they understand the impact of IT and online security risks on their brand reputation and customer satisfaction. There has been an increase of 38% data breach cases. Around 59% confirmed that they plan on increasing their spend on coping with online security issues.

The conclusion of all these numbers is that people are becoming more aware regarding the online security issue in business. Everyone is trying to figure out a new strategy that will make software more safe and reliable. The new components that will find a place in every owner's plan for a secure application are as follows:

Secure Software Development Cycle(sSDLC): It becomes very difficult to repair an already developed software. The difficulty is not just on the coding part but also on the investment part. More amount of money is invested for fixing an already designed application/software. In this form of testing, software is evaluated at each phase on various parameters.

Application Security Design review: In this type of testing method, new or existing product and service is examined with the help of automated tools. These tools monitor whether the different layers of technology used for the designing of software are appropriately secured or not. A regulatory framework such as PCI(Payment Card Industry), HIPAA(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), GLBA(Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) are also checked during this type of application security testing.

Application Code Review: The applications that are based on lengthy codes are difficult to scan manually. Therefore, this type of coding of any site/software/application is bifurcated on the basis of coding lengths and are evaluated accordingly.

Web Application Penetration Test: Penetration testing of sites/software/applications is done to identify the vulnerabilities of any application. The system is monitored according to 5 point score based on the industry standards.

Server Vulnerability Scan: In this framework, different devices such as routers, servers and switches are tested for vulnerabilities. The main focus of the developer is on the security patches and checking if inadequate cipher strength is verified.

Remediation Support: The tests will not be effective unless there is follow ups with remediate findings and scans. It should be confirmed that all these follow ups are scheduled on time for a safe and secure application.

Proper knowledge regarding all these testing protocols is very important for security of corporate assets. An individual can get such training from a single pit stop- Hack2Secure. Apart from giving classroom training, the institute also imparts training online.
