Feeling secure? – Notes From The Field

I’ll be sharing our agency experience of developing secure web applications for some of the UK’s leading high street banks and brands with a focus on the pitfalls you face when developing code in PHP. The talk will contain specific details on the many attack vectors that hackers will use to attempt to access and exploit your site and how you can improve your development process to avoid them.

Topics covered will include some old chestnuts like XSS (Cross Site Scripting) and SQL injection through to issues like XSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) and Session Hijacking.

The talk is aimed at developers who have perhaps not truly considered security of their applications before to developers who would like to extend their knowledge. The talk is aimed at software developers and will contain practical code-based examples and solutions.
