Most cyber security problems have their origin in software, and esp. software that operates via the internet. This course is about security vulnerabilities in web applications. It covers standard types of security vulnerabilities, how they can be exploited, what the underlying root causes are, and what can be done to prevent them, detect them, or mitigate their impact.
