Season 1: Episode 3 - Application Protection—Mitigating Risk at the Access Tier

F5 Labs Threat Research

What makes an app, really? Is application security, as we’ve known it, keeping pace with today’s threats? F5 Labs security experts spent a year researching the composition of an app, the increasingly essential role they play in today’s digital world, to better answer these questions. Join threat researchers Sara Boddy and Ray Pompon as they explore these questions and more, sharing their findings from the 2018 Application Protection Report. In this episode, they’ll take a critical look at threats against the Access Tier. This includes one of the most prevalent app client vulnerabilities, cross-site scripting (XSS). They’ll also explore account access hijacking and how you can put the proper security provisions in place to minimize your risk.
