The importance of NIST CSF 800-171 in bolstering application security. It emphasizes the framework's role in guiding organizations through risk assessment, security controls implementation, and compliance assurance.
I emphasize the critical importance of the OWASP Top 10 in ensuring robust application security and safeguarding digital assets. By addressing common vulnerabilities outlined in the list, I demonstrate a proactive approach to mitigating cyber threats, enhancing resilience, and fostering a culture of security within organizations
In this lab, I delved into the intricate task of configuring application protocols such as HTTP, FTP, and SMTP. Through practical exercises, I gained hands-on experience in optimizing network functionality for diverse applications.
In the Web Security Lab, I conducted penetration testing using tools like BurpSuite, OWASP ZAP, and Nikto on vulnerable web applications. I identified critical vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and XSS and implemented robust security controls on Ubuntu VM to mitigate these risks.
