In this talk from Ian Amit, he will try to address things from a more tactical (read: practical) perspective for application development. What ’we’ see, or want, from a security practitioner perspective is nice, but enabling it from an application view isn’t trivial. He’ll cover the aspects that the attendees can gain from having applications designed and implemented in certain manners, while of course not changing the way things are being practiced these days (too much). He will also show how logging (yes… plain old boring logging) can go a long way, and how applications that are a bit more self conscience to their state can be utilised to detect attacks before they actually happen.
