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

## Bug bounty programs 
I've always had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of how Open-Source software works. A group of engineers come together to produce beautifully-engineered software for the community, usually for free. It is truly one of the most wonderful aspects of the software engineering world, showing how collaboration allows us to unlock a great deal of potential.

OS software is not the only example of how transparent collaboration results in ecosystem-wide improvements, bug bounty programs (BBP) are another exceptional product of our industry.

In the next lesson, we'll learn what is in a program.
