    Security, 9th May 2018

    An overview of how web developers can protect their applications, their businesses, but most importantly; their sanity. It will include a brief overview of common mistakes made with web applications that could lead the developer, and/or others to a security faux pas. Some best practices to follow, and some real world examples of where I/others have screwed up.

  • Is it Secret? Is it Safe?

    Hooked on Security, 10th July 2019

    Everyone wants to sell things online. eCommerce websites are popping up left right and center. But where do you start? Our boss/clients have an idea of what they want, but we as software developers are a key stakeholder when it comes to building eCommerce systems. After all, we’re both building the application and using it. There are multiple paths we can go down, but a common challenge that we all face is security; Protecting the customers data! During the talk, we’ll look at some real world examples and security titbits in how we can protect the application, with Rob drawing on over 9 years of eCommerce experience.
