KEYNOTE: Imperva -- Cover your App – Web Application Security Challenges and Checklists
Join on Hopin
Web applications are high-priority targets for hackers. The inherent complexity of their source code, which increases the likelihood of unattended vulnerabilities and malicious code manipulation, allow cyber criminals to easily automate and launch an attack against thousands, or even tens or hundreds of thousands of targets at a time. And best of all, they may result in a plethora of rewards - sensitive private data and damaged customer relationships. In this session, Imperva CTO Kunal Anand will review best practices in web application security. He will explain how their vulnerabilities are often exploited to either manipulate source code or gain unauthorized access and the various attack vectors used. Finally, he will outline the processes that should be part of any web application security checklist. He will also speak to the more challenging questions around who bears the risk in such a connected IT environment.
