Java Production Support for Banking Systems Training Course

During this training, participants will gain an understanding of the specific use cases for selected topics, the common challenges encountered when working with them, and the role of the application model. The course also covers foundational knowledge of standard library functions in the Java language. A prerequisite for the training is familiarity with the integrated development environment (IDE) used to build Java applications, such as Eclipse or NetBeans. The training does not cover user interface-related issues.

Even seasoned Java programmers often don't fully grasp the full range of security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the various vulnerabilities that affect web applications written in Java.

Alongside introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security issues within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services is grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Through a variety of exercises, participants explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while also covering both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. The practical application of all these components is demonstrated through several hands-on exercises, allowing participants to test the discussed APIs and tools themselves.

The course also examines and explains the most common and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical bugs made by Java programmers, the security vulnerabilities covered include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their corresponding attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.

• Understand the basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
