Do you need to secure your applications quickly from today's threats such as those from automated agents, bots, and common vulnerabilities? Are you limited by time, resources, and knowledge of your web applications? Do you need protection against CVEs without thinking too deeply about them?

In this 1 day course, participants identify and mitigate common web application vulnerabilities on the client and application sides of the threat spectrum. Participants use F5 Advanced WAF to quickly configure advanced protection against common Layer 7 vulnerabilities (OWASP Top Ten) and bot defense.

There are no F5-technology-specific prerequisites for this course. However, completing the following before attending would be very helpful for students with limited BIG-IP administration and configuration experience:
