Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Security flaws in web applications rarely come from advanced attacks; they come from small mistakes made during development. If you build ASP.NET applications without security in mind from the start, you risk data breaches, compliance failures, and loss of trust.

In this course, you will learn how to design and build secure ASP.NET Core applications from scratch, using modern, practical security techniques. You will identify common vulnerabilities, understand how attackers exploit them, and implement proven defenses directly in your code. This course focuses on what actually matters in production: secure authentication, authorization, data protection, input handling, session management, and threat modeling.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently design, develop, and harden ASP.NET Core applications that are secure by default.

What You Will Learn

  • Design ASP.NET Core applications with security built in from day one.
  • Safely handle user input and prevent common injection attacks.
  • Implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  • Protect sensitive data using hashing, encryption, and ASP.NET Core data protection.

  • Apply threat modeling to anticipate and mitigate security risks.
