VIScon Workshop: Guardians of the web: a practical security workshop
Event start time 12.10.2024 12:45
Event end time 12.10.2024 15:15
This event is only available for VIScon Symposium or Hackathon participants, as well as Helpers! Please sign up for one of these events first!
Join us as we explore the fast-evolving world of web security.
In this hands-on session, participants will take turns playing the role of security engineers and attackers. As an engineer, you will learn how to identify and mitigate web threats, while being an attacker will help you understand the strategies they use and how to defend against them.
Our workshop not only offers theoretical knowledge but also provides hands-on experiences in a lab setting. You'll receive explanations and have the opportunity to try things out together with a group of other participants.
Additional slots might become available later on. Please use the waiting list!
