CSTP
What is CSTP?
CSTP stands for “Certified Security Testing Professional”. Knowledge, experience & certification is consciously designed to focus on “web application security testing”. With the increasing number of cyber threats such as hacking, malware, ransomware, and data breaches, security testing helps identify vulnerabilities in the software that could be exploited by attackers. By uncovering these weaknesses, security testing allows developers to fix them before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
The learning objectives are designed to help software testers and developers pick up one of the most needed skills and excel in the security testing arena.
