Track 101 – 3:45pm
Bio
TBC
Talk Abstract
The very basics of how to secure a web application. I'll talk through the steps an attacker might go through to perform basic reconnaissance on a web app, the data the attacker will be looking for, and how to best hide it from them. I'll talk about the basics of server configuration, and which development languages are likely to have security issues compared to others. Then I'll go briefly through the OWASP top 10, and show examples of each, the issues they cause and how they can be fixed – mostly using ASP.NET as an example language.
Intended Audience
Any web developer who wants to know the basics
