While secure development practices are an important part of keeping your application and its data protected, you also have to prove your defenses are working. Developers are used to things like unit testing and even functional testing but some feel out of their depth when it comes to security testing. Effective security testing - or pentesting - is easier than you might think.
We'll cover several topics including:
- some of the most common web application vulnerability types
- how they can be prevented
- examples of tools and techniques to test your own applications
By the end of the session you'll be familiar with some of the most common security issues facing your applications and have the knowledge you need to prevent them.
