The Advanced Secure Application Testing Certification is a professional level credential that seeks to provide practitioners with extensive in-depth skills and knowledge in determining, analyzing, and countering vulnerabilities in software applications. With cyber threats becoming more complex and companies increasingly relying on web, mobile, and cloud-based applications, the demand for certified advanced software security testers who can ensure secure software development has grown exponentially. This software security testing certification validates a professional’s proficiency in using advanced security testing methods and integrating them effectively into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
This advanced software security tester software testing certification emphasizes a broad spectrum of application security testing techniques, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST). These methods allow security professionals to examine source code, observe application behavior during runtime, and combine static and dynamic analysis for deeper vulnerability detection. Participants also gain hands-on training in Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), enabling real-time monitoring and defense within live applications. A key focus of this certification is mastering the identification and remediation of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), broken authentication, and insecure deserialization. The course prepares advanced software security testers to recognize these threats early in the development process and collaborate with development teams to resolve them using secure coding practices and automated security tools.
