Technological advances shape the way we work and live now and for years to come. Breakthroughs are the order of the day and web applications are created practically on the fly. Combine that with mass distribution and all of a sudden security, best-practice frameworks and even regulations get relegated to the catching-up zone. In this talk Mark Fenech will adopt Information Security principles for the development of web applications, so that management, developers and business stakeholders alike will have a framework within which they can ruminate for more secure web applications.
