Thinking like a Hacker to Protect Your Software
Get into the attacker mindset and join Stephen as he takes you on a tour of common security vulnerabilities in web applications, the ways that malicious actors approach and exploit them, and how we can protect improve application security. Stephen will first review the most common mistakes that developers make and how they can be exploited to gain access to sensitive data, systems, and infrastructure. Then step into the attacker’s shoes as Stephen walks you through attacker methodologies and exploits some of these vulnerabilities live against a mock application. Don’t worry, we still want you to sleep well afterwards. Stephen will finish by giving you some actionable steps you can take to make sure that you don’t fall prey to similar attacks.
