How Vulnerable Is Your JavaScript Application to an Attack?

776 Downloads

JavaScript is one of the most widely used, versatile and simple languages available today. The ability to write code once that can run anywhere makes JavaScript widely popular. JavaScript powers a multitude of app, open source UI, and game frameworks, servers, terminal-based workflow tools, animation libraries, and many other applications. JavaScript is supported by every major browser and is the only web programming language built for both client-side and server-side.

However, the fact that the code is stored as clear text files makes JavaScript applications vulnerable to security risks. Encryption alone will not help, it requires fundamentally a different approach to address security risks inherent in JavaScript applications. JavaScript is vulnerable to reverse-engineering and tampering attacks.

Attackers can use these attack techniques to realize the following pervasive threats:

- Breaches and Disclosures
- App Impersonation
- Exploitation of Data and Customers
- Theft of Intellectual Property and Digital Assets

These attacks take the form of:

XSS (Cross Site Scripting) where an attacker embeds malicious code into banking or other legitimate websites leading to data theft / account tampering

or CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) where an attacker manipulates browsers to take gain access on other sites.

During this webinar, we will be giving a live demo on how to best secure your JavaScript applications.
