SUMMARY:The Attacker’s Distributed Supercomputer: Your Browser
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: The following will be in effect and mandatory for this meeting venue. \n\nRSVPs will close at 11:59 PM PT on Monday\, April 21st\, so kindly submit your RSVP by then. Walk-ins will not be permitted.\nGoogle Security mandates that RSVPs include your full name (in Meetup settings) and that you bring your ID\, which will be checked at the entrance to match your RSVP.\nIf your first and last name do not appear in our admin view\, we will contact you.\nAlternatively\, feel free to reach out directly or email us at orange-county-leaders@owasp.org to provide that information or any questions you may have regarding the event.\n\nParking\nPark in the public garage structure next to the building. We will be providing paid tickets for exiting the garage. \nAbstract\nAs the browser transforms into the primary computing platform\, new vulnerabilities are surfacing that existing security architectures are not prepared to tackle. This gap leaves enterprises exposed to risks like client-side exploits\, unmonitored communication channels\, and last-mile reassembly tactics\, which exploit the browser’s complexity beyond the reach of traditional tools. \nThis talk explores how the shift to browser-centric workflows has uncovered a critical weak spot at the very heart of organizations around the world\, currently unprotected by conventional security measures\, allowing both internal and external threat actors to bypass controls \nThanks to Our Sponsor Black Duck\nBlack Duck® offers the most comprehensive\, powerful\, and trusted portfolio of application security solutions in the industry. We have an unmatched track record of helping organizations around the world secure their software quickly\, integrate security efficiently in their development environments\, and safely innovate with new technologies.
