1. How to Prevent Account Takeover Attacks – John Chirhart – ASW #109
Attackers are using methods such as password spraying and credential theft to commit fraud against websites at an alarming rate. Automated bots are aiding the attacker to conduct these operations at scale. Your defensive strategy should include a mechanism to determine if a session is being controlled by a real user or a bot. How can we best accomplish this without creating too much friction between the real users and your web applications?

2. Apps Are the New Endpoint – Catherine Chambers – ASW #109
Apps are everywhere. Increasingly apps are the main entry point for daily services such as banking, home security or even unlocking a car. But mobile devices are untrustworthy: a place where hackers can reverse engineer apps, tamper with them, and steal the secrets they hold. As apps become the new endpoints, it’s high time to reconsider their security. In this webcast Catherine Chambers, Senior product manager, will discuss why Security needs to be on your app’s feature list.
