Lightning Rounds

For this Meetup, we'll host four interesting and actionable security talks.

Dan Borden describes best practices for securing Ruby libraries. Managing gems and their associated interdependencies is a royal pain, but Dan will show us how to bring sanity to the process.

Eric Mills will show us the fundamental steps needed to secure your corporate email from threat actors.

Jason Allen will talk about his research into phishing kits, the software packages used by phishers to create credential harvesting websites.

Finally, Jake Peterson introduces us to Runtime application self-protection (RASP). "If you have had an attacker use IP cycling you know that WAF can have limitations. RASP is a step further: it provides important context in your event streams that have huge implications. This talk will cover my experiences on learning to know when RASP is right for your team, and how to use it effectively."
