Securing Javascript Web Apps and JSConf Recap
Details
This time we'll first do a recap of JSConf: if you were there, we kindly invite you to come and share your experiences! Next, we'll have a talk from our very own Stephen Thomas.
Talk: Securing Javascript Web Apps
Modern web apps require snappy performance and dynamic content, requirements that are driving more developers to Javascript-based single page apps. This architecture brings many advantages, but it shouldn't be an excuse to forget all the lessons we’ve (painfully) learned about web security. In fact, typical Javascript web apps may introduce vulnerabilities that can expose the web site to common attacks in new ways. Fortunately—as we’ll see—protecting against those attacks doesn’t have to be complex or burdensome.
