Speaking Engagements
Northeast PHP – Web Security and You
This past weekend, I had the pleasure to speak (for the first time) at Northeast PHP, in Boston right next to the MIT campus. My talk was on “Web Security and You”, and covered the typical web attacks that every web application must gaurd against. So if you need to know, or want to refresh your memory, how to defend against CSRF, SQL injections, and XSS, you can see the slides here. If you were at NEPHP and saw my talk, please rate it on joind.in, if you haven’t already. Thanks!
