Tricks of the Trade - What Every Developer Should Know About Application Security

3:15 PM MDT

Learn how to exploit security vulnerabilities that are commonly found in the arsenal of malicious attackers. We won't simply talk about issues like Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF), but will show how hackers abuse these potentially devastating defects by finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in real world open source web applications built in Java. We will proceed to walk through the source code and actually fix these issues using secure coding techniques. We will also discuss best practices that can be used to build security into your SDLC.

Java developers and architects will learn how to find and fix security issues in their applications before hackers do.

This session covers

  • Exploiting vulnerabilities in a running web application
  • Finding security issues in the source code of a real open source application
  • Fixing the vulnerabilities using secure coding techniques
