Build- to- rent involves the construction of purpose- built residential buildings with the intention of renting out the units for the long term, rather than selling the individually. On this webinar, we will introduce the concept of Build-to-rent (BtR) and explore the key features, including design considerations, financial models and management strategies. We will also discuss the benefits of BTR investors, tenants, and communities as well as potential challenges and risk associated with this type of investment.

Duration 2 Days 12 CPD hours This course is intended for This is an introduction to database security course for intermediate skilled team members. Attendees might include DBAs, system administrators, developers and other enterprise team members. Ideally, students should have approximately 6 months to a year of database working knowledge. Overview Students who attend Securing Databases will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize actual and potential database vulnerabilities, implement defenses for those vulnerabilities, and test those defenses for sufficiency. This course introduces students to the most common security vulnerabilities faced by databases today. Each vulnerability is examined from a database perspective through a process of describing the threat and attack mechanisms, recognizing associated vulnerabilities, and, finally, designing, implementing, and testing effective defenses. Multiple practical demonstrations reinforce these concepts with real vulnerabilities and attacks. Students will learn how to design and implement the layered defenses they will need in defending their own databases. Securing Databases is an essential training course for DBAs and developers who need to produce secure database applications and manage secure databases. Data, databases, and related resources are at the heart of most IT infrastructures. These assets can have high value from a business, regulatory, and liability perspective, and must be protected accordingly. This course showcases demonstrations on how to repeatedly attack and then defend various assets associated with a fully functional database. This approach illustrates the mechanics of how to secure databases in the most practical of terms. Security experts agree that the least effective approach to security is 'penetrate and patch'. It is far more effective to 'bake' security into an application throughout its lifecycle. After spending significant time trying to defend a poorly designed (from a security perspective) database application, students will learn how to build secure their databases and applications, starting at project inception.

Duration 4 Days 24 CPD hours This course is intended for This is an intermediate-level programming course, designed for experienced .Net developers who wish to get up and running on developing well defended software applications. Real world programming experience with .Net is required. Overview Students who attend Attacking and Securing .Net Web Applications will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize actual and potential software vulnerabilities and implement defenses for those vulnerabilities. This course begins by developing the skills required to fingerprint a web application and then scan it for vulnerabilities and bugs. Practical labs using current tools and techniques provide students with the experience needed to begin testing their own applications. Students also gain a deeper understanding of how attackers probe applications to understand the runtime environment as well as find potential weaknesses. This course the introduces developers to the most common security vulnerabilities faced by web applications today. Each vulnerability is examined from a .Net perspective through a process of describing the threat and attack mechanisms, recognizing associated vulnerabilities, and, finally, designing, implementing effective defenses. Practical labs reinforce these concepts with real vulnerabilities and attacks. Students are then challenged to design and implement the layered defenses they will need in defending their own applications. There is an emphasis on the underlying vulnerability patterns since the technologies, use cases, and methods of attack as constantly changing. The patterns remain the same through all the change and flux. This 'skills-centric' course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in secure web application development, coding and design, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Our instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current 'on-the-job' experience into every classroom.
