Abstract
If you create an application that runs on one or more computersconnected to a network such as the internet, your code will be attacked.
Consequences of compromised systems often include loss of trust,
reputation and revenue. Software will always have defects and
vulnerabilities. Strikes against digital assets are unquestionably on
the rise. We can, however, make it substantially harder to find and
exploit vulnerabilities by identifying insecure coding practices and
developing secure alternatives.
During this practical session, we'll examine in detail the principles
behind some of the worst attack patterns seen today in the software
industry. Most importantly, we'll learn effective defense programming
techniques every developer must employ when building software.
