Welcome back to the Holiday Readiness blog series. We hope part one has kept you busy over the past month as you continue to improve your security posture. If you haven?t finished all of the security checklist items, don?t worry ? there is still time before Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
In this 25 minute video I’m explaining the foundations of Web Application Security.
The video covers the basic building blocks of web applications, such as HTML, HTTP, JavaScript and Cookies. Furthermore core web applications security concepts such as the Same-Origin Policy are discussed in detail.
The goal is to provide foundational knowledge to help grasp security vulnerabilities, such as XSS, CSRF, SQLi, tab-nabbing, etc. later on.
In the past I have trained and presented content like this to thousands of engineers at large organizations and cloud providers, hence its quite optimized for best learning and comprehension outcome.
Passwords are the bane of users and security teams? lives.
