Learning the OWASP Top 10
The Learning the OWASP Top 10 course by Caroline Wong was a valuable resource for understanding common vulnerabilities in web applications and how to mitigate them. As a junior MIS student at Temple University, I learned about issues like injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and broken access controls, along with practical strategies to address these risks. The course broke down each vulnerability with real-world examples, which enhanced my ability to identify and discuss security weaknesses in web systems. This knowledge has been instrumental in preparing me for technical interviews and advancing my understanding of secure application development, a critical skill in the field of cybersecurity.
