OffSec Learning Path: Web System Administration Foundations

Modern organizations rely heavily on web applications for critical operations. This hands-on Learning Path will equip learners with the essential skills to secure web servers, applications, and databases, significantly reducing their organization's risk profile. Learners will:
  • Configure web servers securely, implementing best practices for Apache, nginx, and IIS

  • Harden web applications by applying secure coding principles and mitigating common vulnerabilities

  • Master TLS and PKI by learning to implement robust encryption and authentication

Protect web environments by developing fundamental security expertise

This Learning Path empowers learners to proactively secure web infrastructure. Learners will develop the skills to harden web servers (Apache, nginx, IIS), write secure web code, protect databases (MSSQL), and master security protocols (TLS/PKI). These skills directly reduce attack surfaces, enable proactive identification of vulnerabilities, and make it significantly more difficult for attackers to succeed.

Who is this Learning Path for?

  • Web administrators seeking to bolster their security skills
  • Security analysts specializing in the protection of web environments
  • IT professionals responsible for securing web-based infrastructure

Learning objectives

  • Understand web administration, grasping key security concepts, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors
  • Learn to implement best practices for UNIX system hardening
  • Keep systems up-to-date and mitigate vulnerabilities by developing patching strategies
