Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Enterprise Ethical Hacking Cloud Applications

Securing of web applications is a gigantic task. In this talk, we will explore how to protect enterprise applications. We will explore different kinds of vulnerabilities and hot to secure your applications properly. Security patterns need to be understood by first wearing the hat of a hacker and then putting the hat of a defender. In this workshop, we will explore different security patterns and determine how to prevent attacks.

We will be using Kali Linux to understand Ethical hacking techniques using Metasploitable applications. In the end, we will see how OpenVas can help in scanning the vulnerabilities in the application.
