October - The Pragmatic Guide to Web Application Security

Details

As a developer, your customers expect a constant stream of shiny new features. While it's important to deliver business value, there's more to building a web application. Keeping your apps secure is vital to the health of your company. It seems like there's a new story every week of a company that failed to secure their data. A security breach resulting from your faulty code is the ultimate career limiting move. Your beautiful application isn't much use if it can get hacked by a bored teenager.

In this talk, you'll learn how to secure modern web applications. You'll about how to examine the data flows of your app to find security flaws before you write a single line of code. You'll learn how to attack your own web app to find security vulnerabilities. Finally, you will also learn how to secure the different layers of your application against common attacks. By the end of this talk, you will be well on your way to keeping the bad guys out of our app.
