Vulnerability Assessment & Mitigation

Explore the domain of security assessment design and mitigation for web-based mobile and embedded systems. This course will start by examining common web-based attacks such as SQL injection cross-site scripting (XSS) cross-site request forgery (CSRF) carjacking clickjacking and cookie exploits. Next you will learn how to evaluate general strategies to mitigate vulnerability. The course then moves on to mitigation strategies fo rmobiles such as containerization sandboxes wrappers secure encrypted enclaves TPM and tokenization. You will then study enterprise mobility management methods privacy concerns and security issues. Other topics include how to assess vulnerabilities and common threats for embedded devices; and how to walk through methods to reduce embedded device vulnerability. Finally as a review exercise you will describe how to assess and mitigate systems vulnerabilities.
