Speaker: Michael Cavallin
Presentation: Zero Trust Design for Web Applications (1.5 hr)

Abstract: Why do the internet's largest companies use Zero Trust designs? Zero Trust makes attackers' lives hard! You'll leave this talk with three main takeaways: 1) Why Zero Trust design is so important for web application design. 2) A phased approach you can take with your old and new projects. 3) Learn about a simple, secure, scalable Zero Trust reference design you can implement using Okta and Cloudflare (and see a demo!).

Biography: Michael is a senior member of BCI's Cyber Security Engineering team and a champion of Zero Trust designs. Michael's own cybersecurity research has discovered and reported security vulnerabilities involving the US Department of Homeland Security's ICS CERT, ICS/SCADA vendors, Defence Research and Development Canada and hardware/software vendors.
