During this talk, Aaron Lint and Johnny Xmas address how this traditional approach to network security leaves most enterprises vulnerable to a major attack -- especially given the exponential growth in web and mobile applications. They will cover the typical types of attacks that are happening at the application layer and will focus on pragmatic steps professionals can take to protect high-value applications from the growing threat of attacks occurring today.
