Web Security Talks

Securing User Logins and Cookie Sessions

Stolen browser cookies and advanced phishing attacks are major threats to organizations today.

This talk will cover how to secure user cookie sessions and detect stolen cookies. We’ll also demonstrate the importance of two-factor authentication (2FA) and reveal the security flaws in popular mobile authenticator apps. You’ll leave with practical tips to protect user logins and sessions from these growing threats.

Unicode: Understanding Risks and Defences

This presentation focuses on Unicode, a common attack vector in web security. We’ll explore encoding basics, comparing UTF-8 and UTF-16, and how Unicode can be misused in cyber-attacks, including phishing. Understanding these risks helps us strengthen our defences against these tactics.

Cross-site scripting (XSS)

XSS is one of the most common and dangerous attacks that we can encounter as a web developer. In this talk, I will introduce you to what XSS is and also explain how to protect yourself from XSS attacks.

Fail at web security

Security on the web is difficult because so many different aspects and technologies are involved in our applications. Protecting yourself is a balancing act of risk and a constant race to know about new safety holes. We will show you what can happen if you get hacked and examples of how to protect against this.

We will also review examples of online intrusions, how these can be used against you, and what can be done about it. It’s a good idea to be proactive with security on the web. Take care of the risks before they take care of you!

Fighting XSS with Content Security Policy

In this talk, we take a closer look at Content Security Policy (CSP) and how this feature in our browsers can prevent XSS attacks and other security attacks. This talk assumes you have attended the Cross Site Scripting (XSS) talk.
