From Vulnerable to Vigilant: Secure Web Development in Practice

Abdalrahman Hwoij, SIAG

SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, insecure file uploads, vulnerable dependencies: modern web apps are under fire from every angle. In our April session, we’ll move beyond theory and walk through the OWASP Top 10 with real-world examples and fixes you can ship.

Expect practical guidance on backend validation, frontend filtering, secure session handling, WAF integration, and dependency risk management. We’ll also explore testing with tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Nessus, making sure you’ll leave with a clear checklist and patterns to build applications that are secure by design.

Lock down the basics, then raise the bar—one vulnerability at a time!
