Webinar Smals Research - "Le Dark web, menace ou opportunité pour le secteur public", 30 septembre, 2025Slides available hereVandy Berten démystifie le "dark web" ou "web clandestin" au cours de son webinaire. Il explique pourquoi le navigateur Tor a été créé et ses avantages pour la protection de la vie privée par rapport à un navigateur classique. Grâce à de nombreux exemples concrets, vous découvrez comment il permet de naviguer sur le dark web et quel type de contenu vous y trouvez. Vous comprenez aussi que le dark web pose un certain nombre de menaces pour le secteur public, comme pour la société en général, mais qu’il offre également l’opportunité à certaines institutions de suivre des secteurs absents du web classique. La session est animée en français, avec des slides anglais. Aucune connaissance spécifique n'est requise : les aspects techniques sont expliqués suffisamment pour permettre à chacun de suivre.

Hackers target PHP web applications more often than other sites because most PHP code is written by developers with little security experience. Protecting web applications from these attacks has become an essential skill for all PHP developers. PHP: Creating Secure Websites shows you how to meet the most important security challenges when developing websites with PHP. Instructor Kevin Skoglund covers the techniques and PHP code needed to develop sites that are more secure, and to avoid common mistakes. Learn how to configure PHP properly and filter input and escape output. Then check out step-by-step defenses against the most common forms of attack, including cross-site scripting and SQL injection.

Most people have heard of RESTful APIs, but the underlying concept—representational state transfer (REST)—still causes confusion. REST is all about modeling resources that change. RESTful APIs use REST architecture along with HTTP requests to transfer data and changes in application state between clients and servers. This course breaks down the principles of RESTful design and show how to build secure RESTful APIs on top of ASP.NET Core. Nate Barbettini answers questions such as: What is RESTful design? How do you perform RESTful routing? How can you build reusable classes to represent resources? What role does caching play? And how do you secure RESTful APIs? He also covers topics such as data modeling, hypermedia relationships, and authentication and authorization. By the end of the course, you should know the basics—how to properly request and return data in ASP.NET Core—and the best practices for building secure and scalable APIs to serve web clients, mobile clients, and beyond. Topics include: What is RESTful design? Building a new API with ASP.NET Core Using HTTP methods Returning JSON Creating RESTful routing with templates Versioning Securing RESTful APIs with HTTPS Representing resources Representing links Representing collections Sorting and searching collections Building forms Adding caching to an ASP.NET Core API Configuring user authentication and authorization Apply for this course

Cybersecurity can be daunting because of its technical complexity and the ever-changing threats that professionals must grapple with. And more than ever, cybersecurity is not just an IT issue, but a core business issue for organizations of all kinds. Just like other business issues—such as finance, legal, or human resources—cybersecurity has its own set of external policies, laws, rules, established practices, and resources for getting help. Getting to know these policies and resources better across your organization—and not just within your IT department—can be hugely beneficial to your company. This course seeks to make key cybersecurity policies and resources clear and understandable—whether you work in IT, in business, or are just interested in how information security fits in with our public policies and laws.
