Introducing the Web Security Academy
Summary: PortSwigger announced the launch of the Web Security Academy, a free learning resource offering training on web security vulnerabilities, techniques for finding and exploiting bugs, and defensive measures. It launches with four classic web security vulnerabilities covered through interactive materials and real vulnerability labs accessible instantly online, with new topics and labs to be added over time.
What you should know: The Academy is free and built around hands-on labs against real vulnerabilities, which lowers the cost barrier for practitioners to practice exploitation and defense - and sets a baseline of practical skill that security leaders can expect from their teams.
