DevSecOps Road Trip Netherlands stop - Nanne Baars & Brian Vermeer

Session 1: From attack to writing code...what do you need to know as a developer?

The described mitigations are simple: configure your parser securely, but is it this simple? We will focus on some examples and see if we can catch the attack with tests, code reviews, etc. Nanne Baars, Developer at Xebia and OWASP WebGoat Project lead
