iSAQB® WEBSEC - Advanced Level Certification

After you complete an accredited WEBSEC training you receive 20 credit points in the technological competence area and 10 credit points in the methodical area. These points count toward the iSAQB CPSA-A certification. 

To become eligible for the full CPSA-A certification you must:

• Already hold the CPSA-F (Foundation Level) certificate.

• Have at least three years of full-time professional experience in IT, including participation in the design and development of at least two different IT systems.

• Accumulate a total of at least 70 credit points across the three competence areas (Technological, Methodical, Communicative), with at least 10 credit points in each area.

After you meet those prerequisites and have accumulated enough points (including those from the WEBSEC module), you register for the CPSA-A final certification exam (which is an assignment plus an oral interview with iSAQB-appointed examiners). 

Once you pass the exam, you receive the CPSA-A certificate, confirming your advanced competence in software architecture.

The iSAQB® WEBSEC training covers web security and secure software architecture. It provides practical knowledge for integrating security requirements into the development process to protect software from attacks. Participants learn to identify common risks, including injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and man-in-the-middle attacks, and how to implement protection measures.

The module also addresses secure authentication, cryptography, security infrastructure, and testing and monitoring methods. It uses established standards to help detect and reduce vulnerabilities early in the software lifecycle. This course is intended for software architects, developers, and IT security professionals who want to expand their technical knowledge of web security.

After finishing the course, participants will be able to include security concepts in software architectures and apply effective countermeasures against cyber threats.
