Arne's abstract
You are working under extreme time pressure, have no budget for security testing, and the project keeps growing in size. When you are constantly delivering new features, nobody can expect you to have time to worry about web security. Right? Looking at the most common problems, this talk shows that security does not have to be an expensive, tedious, and time consuming extra task you have to worry about. Done right, it can simply be a part of the architecture as well as the development and deployment processes.
