As developers, we continually put third-party code snippets into our organization’s websites to run features like chatbots, analytics, and payment gateways. However, these scripts have become a significantly increasing attack vector for cybercriminals—putting user data and businesses at risk. From the infamous British Airways breach to the recent Kaiser Permanente incident (and many more in between), the consequences of failing to secure these code vulnerabilities aren’t for the faint of heart.
In this Dev Innovation Summit session, we’ll dive deep into the unique challenges posed by the third-party code scripts that run behind the scenes in your user’s browsers. You’ll gain a technical understanding of how exactly these attacks occur and why they’ve been so difficult to monitor and secure. Through real-world examples and case studies, the talk will explore the tactics hackers employ to exploit these code vulnerabilities.
