Learn about security in a workshop or master class
Get a grip on web application security. Become acquainted with common security risks and learn how to prevent and control them, and gain insight into recognizing and resolving vulnerabilities in web applications with a web security workshop or master class.
The workshops and master classes are primarily aimed at web developers, IT staff, content managers, CISOs and CIOs, but can also be given for less technical employees. The focus is on security in web development, creating awareness and recognizing that web applications are often vulnerable due to unnoticed, minor flaws.
For organizations that fall under NIS2, training and awareness of employees is moreover part of the legal duty of care. A workshop is a practical and demonstrable way to fulfil it.
Company workshop web security
Do you want to organize a security workshop for your developers? Which ICT security guidelines must be considered during the development process? How does an attacker approach a web application?
An experienced security expert introduces the most important security guidelines and standards in web development, including the OWASP Top 10. The expert then guides programmers into the world of hacking a business environment and shows how easy it can be to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications and underlying systems.
This is an interactive workshop in which participants get the opportunity to step into the shoes of an attacker. The program and duration of the workshop are determined in consultation.

Security workshop with pentest results on your own systems
To activate employees and involve them in IT security, it is possible to use your organization's own test results in a workshop. First have a penetration test conducted on your own IT systems, then have the findings presented and analyzed in a workshop. Employees get the opportunity to work with security test tools themselves, receive feedback about vulnerabilities within their own web applications and learn how to solve and prevent them. A look behind the scenes into the world of an attacker will not only enthuse your employees, but also create lasting awareness and involvement in the internal and external IT security of your organization.
Do you want a penetration test followed by a security workshop for employees based on the test results? Ask us about the possibilities.
Customized workshop?
Do you have specific requests and require a customized workshop? In consultation we create a customized program that addresses specific interests or topics, from secure coding to phishing recognition. Costs for the workshop depend on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, preparation time and travel time. We strive for a well-balanced combination of theory and practice, which ensures active participation and involvement of the participants.
Please contact us to discuss your requests and the possibilities.
Master classes web security
DongIT experts teach two master classes web security (Novice and Advanced), on-site or at our office in Leiden. An experienced security expert guides participants through the world of hacking. The Novice master class (level I) is focused on participants who have little or no knowledge of web security. The Advanced master class (level II) is for participants who have completed level I or already have some knowledge in the field of web security, and elaborates on security during the web development process.
Web security level I - Novice master class
(duration: half a day)
The Novice master class introduces participants to the world of web hacking, fraud and web security in half a day.
The class contains many practical and relevant recent examples. After completing this master class, participants are able to recognize common vulnerabilities and reduce security risks in their own organization.
Web security level II - Advanced master class
(duration: two days)
Solely understanding the risks is not enough to achieve a secure web application. The Advanced master class goes deeper into the matter and teaches participants to identify vulnerabilities themselves. The primary focus is gaining knowledge on how to resolve existing vulnerabilities and prevent new ones in the development process.
Participants learn how security is an integral part of complex web development: safety through precision. They work together on specific cases and objectives, and after completing this master class they are able to detect, prevent and resolve security risks in their own development work.
