Session

Web application security (1-day)

Security is everyone’s job. Developers, service engineers, and program and product managers must understand security basics and know how to build security into software and services to make products more secure while addressing business needs and delivering user value.

In this one-day workshop, we will introduce you to why security is important, how common attacks are executed, and what we, as developers, can do to protect our systems from these attacks.

This workshop contains plenty of hands-on exercises that allow the participant to learn by doing.
