Description
Security isn’t something you “add later.” In OutSystems projects, the difference between a solid app and a risky one often comes down to a handful of decisions: how you authenticate users, how you authorize actions and data access, how you handle sensitive information, and how you protect integrations and traffic. The OutSystems Security Specialist (O11) Certification Exam is designed to test exactly that—your ability to choose the most secure and recommended approach in real scenarios.
This course is a practical, exam-focused preparation program for developers and technical professionals who want to pass the Security Specialist (O11) exam and build more secure OutSystems applications in the real world. If you’ve ever faced a security question with multiple “technically possible” answers and wondered which one is truly best practice, you’re in the right place.
What you’ll gain from this course
You’ll learn a structured way to think about security inside the OutSystems platform—without getting lost in jargon. We’ll translate security concepts into clear OutSystems patterns you can apply immediately. You’ll understand how to design authentication flows safely, how to avoid common session and identity pitfalls, and how to select the right approach for typical enterprise needs.
A major focus is authorization and access control, because broken access control is one of the most common sources of application risk. You’ll practice applying least privilege using roles and permissions, and you’ll learn how to prevent common mistakes like exposing screens, actions, or data paths that users shouldn’t reach—even if they “guess the URL” or manipulate client behavior.
We’ll also dive deep into sensitive data handling. That includes protecting data in transit, thinking carefully about what gets stored and where, avoiding accidental exposure through logs and error messages, and understanding when masking or encryption strategies matter. You’ll learn how to spot situations where developers unintentionally leak secrets, identifiers, or personal data—and how to fix those issues using clean, maintainable patterns.
Because modern apps rarely live alone, you’ll also learn security fundamentals for integrations—including secure communication, safe handling of credentials and secrets, validation basics, and common failure scenarios. Finally, we’ll connect everything to the risks that appear frequently in security exams and in production: common OWASP-style vulnerabilities such as injection, XSS, CSRF, and insecure design choices, explained in a way that maps to OutSystems development decisions.
Exam-style practice that builds confidence
This isn’t just theory. Throughout the course, you’ll work through scenario-based practice questions that mirror the certification’s decision-making style. For each question, you’ll get a clear explanation of why the correct option is best—and why the other options are incomplete, risky, or “almost right.”
Who this course is for
If you already build with OutSystems 11 and want to level up your security mindset, strengthen your governance habits, and walk into the Security Specialist (O11) exam feeling prepared, this course will give you the skills, patterns, and confidence to do it.
