There are more vulnerabilities than ever when creating applications for the web, so it is extremely important that software developers enforce security best practices such as, how to add protection through HTTP headers.

In this course, you will start off by learning how to prevent fraudulent SSL certificates from being served to clients, before moving on to how to defend against XSS attacks and clickjacking. 

In the latter half of the course, you’ll learn security practices related to HTTP cookies, and tips around security tradeoffs that you’ll make in your day-to-day work. Towards the end, you’ll learn how to ward off DDoS attacks, which is crucial when your application scales.

This course will demystify web security, and help you stay on top of important security-related concerns in your web apps.

Web Application Security for the Everyday Software Engineer

# Ethical hacking
We are about to enter one of the final chapters of this course! After this brief overview of DDoS attacks and services we could use to prevent them, we are going to take a sharp turn and dive into the world of ethical hacking.

It would be great to have an unlimited amount of security researchers look at our services and let us know whether a vulnerability is lurking somewhere. It would also be fair to reward those researchers in case their findings lead to an improved security posture for our firm.

The next chapter introduces an amazing vehicle for all of this to happen, enter bug bounty programs.
