With the recent explosion of client-side applications, a whole new world of security vulnerabilities now affects every fancy React and Ember app that we write. Alex will cover the root causes of common vulnerabilities and try to convince you that solving for all of them is hopeless. Then we'll hopefully get to talk about some new approaches to client-side security that flip the normal way of thinking, and hopefully can do a better job protecting us into the future.
