Description

In this 4 day course, students are provided with a functional understanding of how to deploy, tune, and operate ASM to protect their web applications from HTTP-based attacks.
The course includes lecture, hands-on labs, and discussion about different ASM components for detecting and mitigating threats from multiple attack vectors such web scraping, Layer 7 Denial of Service, brute force, bots, code injection, and zero day exploits.
