Cyber attacks are a real and growing threat to businesses and an increasing number of attacks take place at application layer. The best defence against is to develop applications where security is incorporated as part of the software development lifecycle.
The OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls project is designed to integrate security in the software development lifecycle. In this special presentation for PHPNW, based on v2.0 released this year, you will learn how to incorporate security into your software projects.
Recommended to all developers who want to learn the security techniques that can help them build more secure applications.
