Injecting Security into Web Apps

Explore web application security challenges and innovative solutions in this 46-minute conference talk from Hack in Paris. Delve into the limitations of traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and discover why relying solely on signature-based protection is insufficient. Learn about the importance of understanding internal application behavior, handling heavy server loads, and detecting sophisticated attacks that bypass conventional WAFs. Gain insights into the vulnerabilities of predefined rules and signatures, especially in the face of zero-day exploits. Examine new approaches to injecting security directly into web applications for more robust and adaptive protection against evolving threats.
