| Topic 2 | - Security Misconfigurations: This section examines how IT security consultants identify and rectify security misconfigurations that could leave systems vulnerable to attacks due to improperly configured settings.
|
| Topic 3 | - TLS Certificate Misconfiguration: This section examines the ability of network engineers to identify and correct misconfigurations in TLS certificates that could lead to security vulnerabilities.
|
| Topic 4 | - Password Storage and Password Policy: This part evaluates the competence of IT administrators in implementing secure password storage solutions and enforcing robust password policies to protect user credentials.
|
| Topic 5 | - Security Headers: This part evaluates how network security engineers implement security headers in HTTP responses to protect web applications from various attacks by controlling browser behavior.
|
| Topic 6 | - Brute Force Attacks: Here, cybersecurity analysts are assessed on their strategies to defend against brute force attacks, where attackers attempt to gain unauthorized access by systematically trying all possible passwords or keys.
|
| Topic 7 | - TLS Security: Here, system administrators are assessed on their knowledge of Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, which ensure secure communication over computer networks.
|
| Topic 8 | - XML External Entity Attack: This section assesses how system architects handle XML external entity (XXE) attacks, which involve exploiting vulnerabilities in XML parsers to access unauthorized data or execute malicious code.
|
| Topic 9 | - Information Disclosure: This part assesses the awareness of data protection officers regarding unintentional information disclosure, where sensitive data is exposed to unauthorized parties, compromising confidentiality.
|
| Topic 10 | - Input Validation Mechanisms: This section assesses the proficiency of software developers in implementing input validation techniques to ensure that only properly formatted data enters a system, thereby preventing malicious inputs that could compromise application security.
|
| Topic 11 | - Securing Cookies: This part assesses the competence of webmasters in implementing measures to secure cookies, protecting them from theft or manipulation, which could lead to unauthorized access.
|
| Topic 12 | - Server-Side Request Forgery: Here, application security specialists are evaluated on their ability to detect and mitigate server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities, where attackers can make requests from the server to unintended locations.
|
| Topic 13 | - Symmetric and Asymmetric Ciphers: This part tests the understanding of cryptographers regarding symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms used to secure data through various cryptographic methods.
|
| Topic 14 | - Privilege Escalation: Here, system security officers are tested on their ability to prevent privilege escalation attacks, where users gain higher access levels than permitted, potentially compromising system integrity.
|
| Topic 15 | - Understanding of OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities: This section measures the knowledge of security professionals regarding the OWASP Top 10, a standard awareness document outlining the most critical security risks to web applications.
|
| Topic 16 | - Insecure File Uploads: Here, web application developers are evaluated on their strategies to handle file uploads securely, preventing attackers from uploading malicious files that could compromise the system.
|
| Topic 17 | - Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities: Here, penetration testers are assessed on their ability to detect and prevent directory traversal attacks, where attackers access restricted directories and execute commands outside the web server's root directory.
|
| Topic 18 | - Code Injection Vulnerabilities: This section measures the ability of software testers to identify and mitigate code injection vulnerabilities, where untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query.
|
| Topic 19 | - Business Logic Flaws: This part evaluates how business analysts recognize and address flaws in business logic that could be exploited to perform unintended actions within an application.
|
| Topic 20 | - Same Origin Policy: This segment assesses the understanding of web developers concerning the same origin policy, a critical security concept that restricts how documents or scripts loaded from one origin can interact with resources from another.:
