None. HTTP and web fundamentals taught from scratch.
What we do, stated plainly, and what we do not claim.
Your CV is rebuilt around the five assessments you actually wrote, using the terms application security hiring managers screen for.
Technical rounds on the OWASP Top 10, access control and session handling, plus the round every AppSec interview uses: walk me through a bug you found.
Application testing, AppSec engineering and DevSecOps are different paths. We help you pick the one that fits how you work.
Headline, skills, certifications and project section, so recruiter search surfaces you for application security roles.
The classroom programme includes an internship certificate based on your completed capstone project work.
No job guarantee, no guaranteed salary, no placement percentage. Any institute quoting those numbers cannot evidence them either.
Product companies, global capability centres, consulting firms and specialist AppSec teams advertising application security roles in Hyderabad. We prepare you for their interview process. We are not claiming a hiring partnership with them.
Every reason below is something you can verify before you pay.
Our web application security course in Hyderabad starts where testing actually starts: understanding an HTTP request. Then reconnaissance and mapping, then the OWASP Top 10 category by category, each demonstrated in a lab against a deliberately vulnerable application.
Eighteen modules cover broken access control, injection, cross-site scripting, authentication and session testing, CSRF and business logic, SSRF and server-side flaws, misconfiguration, API security, modern JavaScript frameworks, threat modelling, report writing and remediation.
It finishes with five assessments — a full OWASP Top 10 review, an access control and IDOR hunt, an API assessment, a business logic exercise and a threat model with remediation review.
Sit in on a real session before you commit — no obligation.
You dissect a request and response by hand before touching a tool. Testers who skip this plateau at low-severity findings.
Module 2Proxy, Repeater, Intruder and Scanner across every module, the way testers actually work.
ThroughoutBroken access control is the OWASP number one and the bug class scanners miss entirely.
Module 6Workflow abuse, race conditions and price manipulation. No automation finds these, which is why they pay.
Module 11REST, tokens, BOLA and BFLA against the OWASP API Top 10. Far more surface, far less testing.
Module 14Single-page apps, JavaScript analysis, CORS and client-side storage. Most 2026 targets are SPAs.
Module 15STRIDE, data flow diagrams and trust boundaries. Finding flaws at design time is the cheapest security you can buy.
Module 16Reproduction, impact, CVSS and remediation. Report quality decides both bounty payouts and job offers.
Module 17Secure coding basics and framework defences, so you can talk to developers in their own terms.
Module 18OWASP review, IDOR hunt, API assessment, business logic exercise and a threat model review.
PortfolioIn-person batches at Manjeera Trinity Corporate, plus live online for everyone else.
Both modes, same syllabusClassroom and online fees can be paid in EMI or two instalments.
Ask a counsellorEighteen modules that follow an application from a raw HTTP request to a submitted bug report. Expand any module to see the topics, the lab and the outcome.
What you are protecting, and who is attacking it.
You cannot test what you cannot describe.
Your environment, configured properly, once.
Everything before the first payload.
The framework every job description references.
The number one category, and the one scanners miss.
The classic, still found and still critical.
Three variants, each with a different fix.
Login, registration, reset and everything around them.
How access is kept, and how it is stolen.
The bugs no scanner will ever find for you.
When the server fetches, parses or executes on your behalf.
The category that costs nothing to fix and everything to ignore.
More surface than the front end ever shows.
Single-page apps, JavaScript and what moved to the browser.
Finding design flaws before a single line of code is written.
The finding is worth nothing until someone can act on it.
Talking to developers in their own terms.
Each tool, what it does, and where it shows up in the labs and projects.

Twelve concrete capabilities you walk out with, aligned to what application security hiring managers screen for.
Proxy, Repeater, Intruder and Scanner, used the way testers actually use them.
All ten categories named, explained and demonstrated in a lab.
IDOR, horizontal and vertical escalation — the most-found real bug class.
Manual and automated testing, plus the parameterised fix.
Reflected, stored and DOM-based, with encoding and CSP as remediation.
Credential handling, MFA bypass, reset flows and account enumeration.
Token handling, fixation, cookie flags and timeout behaviour.
Workflow abuse and race conditions, which no scanner will find.
File upload, path traversal, XXE and deserialisation.
REST, tokens, BOLA and BFLA against the OWASP API Top 10.
STRIDE, data flow diagrams and trust boundary analysis at design time.
Reproduction steps, impact, CVSS and remediation that a developer can act on.
Five assessments, run against deliberately vulnerable applications. Each one ends in a written report you can walk an interviewer through.
Suitable for a wide range of learners. No prior security experience is required to start.
Start from how HTTP works. No prior security or development experience needed.
Understand the findings that land on your backlog, and stop writing them.
Functional testing instincts map almost directly onto security testing.
Add application depth to a generalist testing skill set.
Understand the web attacks behind the alerts you triage.
Add application depth to a broader advisory skill set.
A structured path into application security, the best-paid defensive niche.
Ready to move from using web applications to breaking and fixing them? This is the on-ramp.
OWASP · Burp Suite · API · RemediationCertifications help. A portfolio of written findings helps more. Here is the sequence that fits an application security career.
Application security is one of the few areas where a portfolio genuinely outweighs certificates. Five written assessments and a Burp Suite Practitioner pass will beat a stack of multiple-choice credentials in almost any interview. PortSwigger's Web Security Academy is free and we point you to it from module 5 onward. Certification names, formats and prices change, so verify with the provider before booking.
On completing the programme you receive a Cyber Security Academy course completion certificate — a record of the modules you finished and the assessments you delivered. It is separate from any vendor certification, which is issued by the certifying body.
Sample · course completion certificate
Lead trainer, application and API security.
10+ years of industry experience, teaching web and API testing, OWASP methodology and report writing from the perspective of someone who has assessed production applications rather than only studied them.
Web application testing, API security, access control and business logic testing, Burp Suite, and professional reporting.
Every concept lands in a lab the same session. No module ends without a vulnerability found and written up.
1:1 career mentorship and guidance on which certification path fits your background and budget.
Doubt-clearing sessions, technical support and WhatsApp learning support between classes.
Three ways to take the same 18-module syllabus.
EMI and two-instalment payment options are available on classroom and online training.
We would rather you verify everything than take our word for it. Here is exactly how.
Book a free demo and watch an actual session — the trainer, the pace, the lab setup and the batch you would join. Nothing is staged for visitors.
Open our Google Business Profile and read what learners wrote there. Google reviews are tied to real accounts, which is why we point you to them rather than printing quotes here.
Ask what a finished vulnerability report looks like. In this field the report is the product. If an institute cannot show you one, the labs are a line on a brochure.
Ask how many hours a day you can reach the lab and on whose infrastructure. Hands-on time is the difference between a certificate and a skill.
Ask if you find and exploit the bugs yourself in Burp Suite or watch the trainer do it. That difference is the whole course.

Three things specific to this city and this year.
Broken access control sits at number one in the OWASP list, and it is the class automated scanning handles worst. Testers who can find IDOR and privilege escalation reliably stay in demand.
Every mobile app and single-page application is an API client. That surface is far larger than the web front end and gets a fraction of the testing attention.
Application security engineers command a premium in Hyderabad because the role needs both testing skill and enough development fluency to explain the fix.
Is application security a good career in 2026? Yes, and it pays above the security average. Every company ships software, and finding flaws before release is cheaper than responding to a breach after.
Can a fresher get in? Yes. AppSec hires on demonstrated finding ability, so five written assessments and a clean bug report carry real weight even without experience.
How do I start? HTTP fundamentals, then Burp Suite, then the OWASP Top 10 category by category, then business logic and APIs, then reporting. In that order.
The twenty questions counsellors are asked most often, answered plainly.
It is instructor-led training in testing web applications and APIs for security flaws — the OWASP Top 10, access control, injection, XSS, authentication and session testing, business logic, SSRF, API security and threat modelling. Eighteen modules over three months, classroom in Kukatpally or live online.
Web application security is the practice of finding and fixing flaws in websites, web applications and APIs before an attacker exploits them: broken access control, injection, cross-site scripting, authentication weaknesses, misconfiguration and business logic abuse.
Eighteen modules: fundamentals, how the web works, lab setup, reconnaissance and mapping, the OWASP Top 10, broken access control, injection and SQL injection, cross-site scripting, authentication testing, session management, CSRF and business logic, server-side vulnerabilities, security misconfiguration, API security, client-side and modern frameworks, threat modelling, report writing, and secure development and remediation.
Classroom training is ₹32,000, live online training is ₹25,000 and the recorded course is ₹9,999. EMI and two-instalment payment options are available.
Three months. Classroom and live online batches follow the same 18-module syllabus, with weekday and weekend options.
No. The course starts with how HTTP works and builds from there. Coding experience helps in the secure development module, but developers, testers and complete beginners all start from the same point.
Yes, throughout. Proxy, Repeater, Intruder and Scanner, used the way testers actually use them rather than demonstrated once. Burp is the tool named in most application security job descriptions.
Yes, with an overview module and then dedicated modules on the categories that matter most in practice: broken access control, injection, cross-site scripting, authentication and session failures, security misconfiguration and server-side request forgery.
Yes, as its own module covering REST fundamentals, tokens, BOLA and BFLA against the OWASP API Top 10. APIs expose far more surface than the front end and are tested far less often.
The vulnerability knowledge here applies directly to bounty hunting, but the researcher workflow — platforms, scope, recon automation, duplicate strategy and triager-facing reports — has its own dedicated programme. See our bug bounty course.
Yes, as its own module: STRIDE, data flow diagrams and trust boundaries. Finding a design flaw before development starts is far cheaper than finding it in a penetration test, and it is the skill that distinguishes an application security engineer from a tester.
Yes. Workflow abuse, race conditions and price or quantity manipulation. No scanner finds these, which is exactly why they pay well in both bounties and salaries.
Yes, as its own module. Reproduction steps, impact statement, CVSS scoring and remediation guidance a developer can act on. Report quality decides both bounty payouts and job offers.
Ethical hacking covers many attack surfaces broadly — network, wireless, mobile, IoT, social engineering. This course goes deep on one surface: web applications and APIs. If you want application security specifically, this is the focused path.
Five: a full OWASP Top 10 assessment, an access control and IDOR hunt, an API security assessment, a business logic testing exercise and a threat model with remediation review.
Web Application Security Tester, Application Security Analyst, VAPT Analyst, API Security Tester, Penetration Tester and, with development experience, Application Security Engineer.
Entry-level application security testing roles commonly advertise around ₹4–7 LPA, rising to ₹10–18 LPA at three to five years. Application security is among the better-paid defensive niches. These are indicative market ranges, not a guarantee.
Yes. Live online batches run the same syllabus with the same trainer, with remote lab access, recorded sessions and LMS materials.
Yes: resume preparation built around your five assessments, LinkedIn support, technical interview preparation, mock interviews and job application support. We do not guarantee placement.
No. We do not guarantee placement or any salary outcome. What we provide is job-oriented training, five documented assessments as a portfolio, interview preparation and placement assistance. The hiring decision belongs to the employer.
