OWASP Monthly Meeting - March 23 2016

Speaker: Justin Mayer

Presentation abstract:
Heartbleed, Shellshock, POODLE, GHOST, FREAK… With severe security vulnerabilities on the rise, how can we ensure our systems are adequately protected? Unattended package upgrades can help, but only if they are properly set up and monitored. File system encryption can reduce the risk of a sensitive data breach, and automated TLS certificate provisioning, replete with HSTS and OCSP, protects the security of our web communications. This talk covers these and other essential Linux security topics in a practical manner that can be put to use immediately.
