From Wild West Hackin' Fest 2018 in Deadwood, SD. Presenter: Kevin Johnson When we look at the progress things like the OWASP Top 10 and other reports show we may begin to think the the fight to secure our systems and applications is well on its way to victory. As we discuss topics like the latest and greatest technology stack and how it implements solutions for our security woes, are we sure we understand what we are being protected from and how it is doing that? In this presentation, Kevin Johnson of Secure Ideas discusses how security works, why we do the things we do and where platforms and libraries can be both good and bad. This is done through a series of real world examples directly from his testing and assessment of modern applications and the SDLC. Viewers will be able to understand where it is important to understand fundamental security and technology topics and how to safely lean on the shoulders of others to improve everything.
