DES 225 – Mitigating OWASP 2025 Cryptographic Failures (UPDATED)

Course Overview

This course equips web application developers with the knowledge and skills required to identify and mitigate Cryptographic Failures as defined in the OWASP Top 10 (2025). Learners will examine how to classify and protect sensitive data based on regulatory, privacy, and business requirements, and how to select and correctly implement modern cryptographic algorithms, protocols, and key management practices. The course emphasizes enforcing strong encryption in transit, authenticated encryption, secure key generation and storage, and the use of proper cryptographic randomness. By the end of the course, participants will be able to avoid deprecated cryptographic practices and ensure cryptographic configurations are securely implemented and regularly reviewed across applications.
