Session Abstract

Hacks, data breaches, ransomware... you keep hearing about it in the news. To effectively protect your business and/or software, you need to know where the vulnerabilities are. And what better way to find out than by attempting to hack yourself? In this session, we will explore how hackers operate and which tools you can use to hack (your own) applications. Additionally, we will examine the most common types of vulnerabilities, how to practice exploiting them, and what measures can be taken to prevent them. With the rise of AI a whole new attack surface has emerged - how is it being used to hack? Last but not least, I'll share tips on keeping your colleagues alert by applying Social Engineering.

Note to event organizers
