We can do shopping, buy tickets, talk to friends and families from a mobile phone, a tablet, a TV, a… (you can put any of the next big things here). But there is the Darkside. Sony, Apple, Adobe, Target, Home Depot, and many other small and big companies have been hacked recently. The number of cyberattacks is not going down, it is going up every day. And the situation will only get worse.

Node.js is one of the fastest-growing platforms nowadays. Are you sure that your application is secure? How is about injection attacks on MEAN stack? I am going to talk about Node.js security considerations and show security best practices applied to Node.js application.

The audience will learn:

  • Node.js/Express.js security overview
  • Node.js cryptography overview
  • How to protect your Express.js application (authentication, logging, security middleware)
  • How to prevent OWASP TOP 10 in Node.js/Express.js application
  • Tools which will help you to protect the application, e.g. ScanJS
