This course path guides you through building secure FastAPI (Python) applications by addressing OWASP Top 10 risks. Learn authentication, data integrity, MFA, secure configuration, SSRF prevention, and robust monitoring practices.
What you'll learn
Prevent server-side request forgery (SSRF) in FastAPI applications
Validate inputs and handle sensitive data securely to prevent deserialization risks
Verify software, file, and data integrity using hashes and digital signatures
Apply secure configuration and software delivery practices to manage vulnerable components
Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and backup code recovery
Manage user sessions and authentication securely using HTTP-only cookies and JWTs
Establish comprehensive security logging and monitoring to detect suspicious activity
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages
University courses you can audit for free, with lectures, readings and practice quizzes.
A verified certificate from the university if you pay for it.
Self-paced: start any time.
Disadvantages
Graded assignments and the certificate need the paid track.
Audit access can expire a few weeks after the course ends.
Learning is free, but the certificate costs money.
Some parts (graded work, certificate) are paid.
Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.
Free to audit
Free: Choose "Audit this course" when you enrol: lectures, readings and practice are free.
Paid: Graded assignments and the verified certificate (Certificate $65). Audit access may end after the course closes.
