Embarking on a Cybersecurity Adventure: Joining the CyberSafe API Security Training Program
It's been a long time since I last wrote here, but it was for a good reason: I was studying for AWS Cloud Practitioner, and I passed! There are other exams and certifications planned for next year. However, for now, I will prioritize my achievement of securing a spot in the CyberSafe API Security Training Cohort 2.0!
I am so excited! Thousands of women from many countries applied for Cohort 2.0, and I made it! I have been studying hard for many years, and things like these have helped me stay motivated.
Here is some information about the program:
For women aged 20-40 years old, anywhere in the world;
Students, graduates, or professionals who already have a background in cybersecurity through formal study, training, or work;
Applicants who are familiar with basic cybersecurity concepts, such as threats, vulnerabilities, and testing approaches;
Prior knowledge of web technologies like HTTP, REST, and JSON is expected but not compulsory.
One of the coolest aspects of the program is that we will gain practical, in-depth knowledge of API security mapped to the OWASP API Top 10, secure authentication and authorization techniques, how to secure API servers and gateways, and perform hands-on API penetration testing and vulnerability reporting projects.
Additionally, networking with women from all over the world, who have different cultures, backgrounds, interests, and life experiences, will definitely enhance our soft skills and the way we perceive ourselves as professionals.
It starts this month, and I will bring some highlights of the journey here for you!
