You have probably been hacked. You might not even know it. Have a Sony PlayStation? Your account is probably out there. Ever bought something from Sears, Target, or Home Depot? Yeah, me too. Insurance from Blue Cross? Watch your credit report. The fact is, so many web applications are easy targets these days. Why? The web is inherently insecure. If you build web applications there is a good chance you are writing sites that are easy targets. If you use web applications you may be an easy target as well. In this session we will take a look at the underbelly of the app security industry, discuss security principles and best practices, and see how to build better web apps and surf safely.
