Brief

This interactive online workshop, starting late November/early December 2026, trains software developers in defensive cybersecurity practices. Participants learn security vulnerabilities from an attacker's perspective through hands-on exercises in a controlled vulnerable application environment. Workshop goals include identifying security risks, exploiting discrete vulnerabilities, and understanding multiple attack vectors across the web application spectrum. The collaborative nature enables participants to share unique perspectives on risk exploitation and develop practical defensive coding skills. This opportunity is processed by SSCL and delivered entirely online/virtually.
