In our second session on the OWASP Top 10 we’ll take a look at their number one security issue: broken access control.
Between 2017 and 2021, broken access control jumped from number five to number one of OWASP’s top ten most critical security risks. Join this event to learn what this risk is and how you can write code that mitigates it.
We’ll also take a quick look at cross site scripting (XSS).
