Abstract

Defending against attacks on a web application is by nature is complex process, one that must address everything from coding practices to user management to network architecture. This talk will describe a number of techniques that, used in concert, will make your web app a much tougher cookie to crack. Primary focus will be on open-source "XAMP" setups, but the concepts should be applicable to most other systems.
