Node.js Secure Coding - Oliver Tavakoli, Chris Thomas, Liran Tal - ASW #286
21 May 2024
Secure coding education should be more than a list of issues or repeating generic advice. Liran Tal explains his approach to teaching developers through examples that start with exploiting known vulns and end with discussions on possible fixes. Not only does this create a more engaging experience, but it also relies on code that looks familiar to developers rather than contrived or overly simplistic examples. Segment resources: https://github.com/lirantal https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/NPMSecurityCheat_Sheet.html https://lirantal.com/blog/poor-express-authentication-patterns-nodejs The challenge of evaluating threat alerts in aggregate – what a collection and sequence of threat signals tell us about an attacker's sophistication and motives – has bedeviled SOC teams since the dawn of the Iron Age. Vectra AI CTO Oliver Tavakoli will discuss how the design principles of our XDR platform deal with this challenge and how GenAI impacts this perspective.
