Why this program matters

  • Without expert DAST mastery, 74% of data pipelines suffer invisible breaches, exposing terabytes of sensitive data according to Verizon DBIR 2023.

  • The consequences total 4,45 millions € per incident on average for data-driven companies, with revenue losses up to 30% due to downtime and GDPR fines.

  • Careers stagnate: data engineers without DAST struggle to move into senior roles, while companies risk failed audits and client loss.

  • Invest now to secure your ETL, Spark and Kafka against these critical threats.

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training DAST - Securing Data Pipelines in Production program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training DAST - Securing Data Pipelines in Production program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training DAST - Securing Data Pipelines in Production program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which tools are used in DAST training?+
Hands-on work runs on OWASP ZAP tools, secure configurations, automated reports, breach simulations, secure CI and CD. Those tools come from the DAST program itself, delivered on site over 2 days, so participants practise on the stack they will use at work.
What can participants do after DAST training?+
They can master advanced DAST scans to detect vulnerabilities in professional ETL pipelines, develop skills in DAST automation integrated with Spark and Kafka for certifying enterprises and design optimized DAST strategies to secure real-time data streams. Those are the stated objectives of the DAST program at Expert level, checked by the end-of-session assessment.
What does the DAST program cover, day by day?+
Day 1: DAST & ETL Pipelines: Advanced Scans and Spark Integration (OWASP ZAP tools, secure configurations, automated reports). Day 2: Advanced DAST for Kafka-Airflow: Optimization and Production Deployment (breach simulations, secure CI/CD, certifiable deliverables). The DAST program runs over 2 days, delivered on site.
How is DAST training assessed?+
Assessment relies on advanced technical quiz on DAST and pipelines, real-world case study with Spark-Kafka and practical project: secure DAST deployment. Learni issues a completion certificate together with the individual assessment report at the end of the DAST program, which an L&D team can file as evidence.
How much does DAST training cost per participant?+
DAST training is priced on quote. The amount depends on headcount, format and how far the syllabus is tailored to your team. A detailed quote is sent within one business day, and team pricing covers the whole group from the second participant.
How long does DAST training take?+
2 days, available live online (US time zones) or on-site at your offices. Half-day tracks spread over several weeks are possible so the team stays operational.
Who pays for DAST training?+
Most US teams pay directly through their company L&D or training budget. Learni invoices in US dollars and accepts bank transfer (ACH/wire) or card, with volume pricing for teams. A purchase order is welcome.
What do participants need to know before DAST training?+
Advanced mastery of Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow, and ETL; experience deploying critical data pipelines.
Is a certificate issued after DAST training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
