Secure RESTful APIs Development

Secure RESTful APIs Development is a comprehensive course designed to help developers build robust, scalable, and secure RESTful APIs from the ground up. This course ensures that you gain the practical skills to protect your web services against common vulnerabilities, while maintaining optimal performance and usability. Whether you’re a backend developer, software engineer, or cybersecurity enthusiast, this training will transform your approach to API security and architecture.

Course Description

In today’s connected world, RESTful APIs are at the heart of modern web and mobile applications. However, without proper security, APIs can become gateways for attackers. This course covers every essential aspect of designing, implementing, and securing RESTful APIs using real-world examples and hands-on coding exercises. You’ll explore authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as OAuth 2.0 and JWT, and understand how to safeguard sensitive data through encryption, input validation, and proper error handling.

Throughout the lessons, you’ll not only learn best practices but also gain insights into the latest API security standards, such as OWASP API Security Top 10. By the end of this course, you’ll be confident in your ability to design and deploy secure APIs that stand up to professional security testing and compliance requirements.
