Why take this course?

Welcome to this beginner course on the OWASP Top 10, as it was last updated in 2021 almost beginning of 2022. This course has no technical prerequisites, it is truly meant for everyone. Whether you are a risk manager, an auditor, a cybersecurity professional, or maybe you are a software developer or simply curious on application security and looking for an introduction to the OWASP Top 10: This course is for you!

In this course you will learn a little bit about the OWASP Foundation and how you can be part of this opensource community. We are going to learn what are the OWASP Top 10 risks of 2021 and how this list of risks gets periodically updated.

For each of the OWASP Top 10 risks, we are going to look at the key information security concepts, so that you better understand the definition of each risk. Then we are going to – together – define each risk – and we are going to do this in layman’s terms, so that you really understand each risk.

We are also going to look at the main challenges that developers and others face that cause each risk. Finally, we are going to give examples of good and bad code using pseudocode and we are going to conclude with some of the best protection practices to help you and your team avoid each risk from materializing.

I am not a coder, I wanted to take this course to learn more about everything the coders are doing. I learned a lot

The pseudocodes doesn't mean anything, they are pretty bad and most likely won't remember any of them. I think the videos should show more info about the vulnerabilities, examples, not on the speaker. Quizzes aren't really checking what you know about the vulnerabilities but what minor thing the presenter said.

I really coldn't follow the presenter. I had to listen to it on 1.5x and not watch it. Next time try a new presentation format.

Concise, clear and very well-explained content! Also the structure of the course is very easy to follow.

Seeing this man's face almost all the time in close-up is really annoying! The bad and good code examples in the first lessons are useless. Some of the questions in the quizzes are stupid and don't contribute to learning (for example: what is the name of certain vulnerability discovered and patched many years ago?)

The instructor was to the point and the examples were great and easy to follow. the pace made it even more palatable. There was summary in every lecture. Best approach.

I really appreciate the enthusiasm from the instructor but sadly it is a course taken sometimes more than twice a year, so it is so difficult to make it interesting.

Far too many unhelpful acronyms that were nonsensical, sometimes redundant. Used vague words to define clusters of unrelated meanings.

Excellent Course, A lot of examples used were for scenarios where you're working with web applications, and since I'm a Back-end Java Developers I might no use some practices. But there were many that i could definitely use and it was good to know about all of them.

Overly enthusiastic, sounds more like a pep-rally than an educational course. The reflections in the presenter's eyes are really distracting.

The content is good. It could be better if it was explained with pictures that describe these ideas to reinforce the concepts in this course.

Worst OWASP course I've ever sat through. It's oversimplified, the speaker is utterly annoying. The quiz questions do not focus at all on the concept of what is being presented, but instead focus on the most minor technical details. A lot of the times, the questions reference things not even talked about in the clip. To summarize, this is an infodump, not a course that teaches the actual concepts behind OWASP.

Nice try, but a very high level description. Not so much examples and mitigation actions/mechanisms. It is good to recognize the threat in a scenario and know what the fixes or prevention techniques are for each. In addition I thing there missing some update information regarding vulnerabilities, e.g. XSS is now part of A3 but it didn't mention anything..

Content is ok, but the presentation is rough. I have a feeling you are yelling at me. Feels unnatural. Tests/Quizes are 'you need to memorize this definition, otherwise you will not pass'. It would be better to think of/come up with real-life examples. 'Do not return 'Bad password' but return 'Bad username or password' is a good one'.
