Some of us like Mr. Snowden for what he did and some of us treat his doings as ugly. Well, I personally love what he did and appreciate it because he cared and took it personally. Some of you may say that “Ah, there is the right way of doing it and he could have done it in a different way”. The judgments will never stop. We all want Secure Applications for our customers, but we have fallen into the trap of routine ways of testing for security (Maybe I can refer it to as “Shallow (Security) Testing”?). We are very formal in the ways we do security testing (What I mean by “formal”? You will hear in the conference).

Santhosh still sees the vulnerabilities which are silly but dangerous. He says, “Out of 10 Applications, at least 70% of them can be exploited using their vulnerabilities”. It is just a matter of time and motivation of malicious hackers to identify the vulnerability and exploit it in a creative way.

This talk is not just going to be some random slides and just speaking in a formal way.

Key TakeAways:

• Knowing about Hacking just beyond OWASP Top 10 Attacks.
• Getting high once you leave the talk in terms of thinking about Security.
• The ability to ask “”Security”” related questions and find the “”Vulnerabilities”” through questioning.
• Getting enthusiastic about starting a security testing journey.
• Maybe some other individual based takeaways based on an individual’s mindset
