Penetration testing: a beginners paradise.

Ever wondered how to go from getting a certificate in penetration testing, or some tinkering in your spare time actually doing it as a full time job? Come and get answers as Andrew Scott (Head of Security Testing for an international bank) spills the beans. How did he get into testing, what other ways in are there? How do you sell yourself to prospective employers and make sure you are ready to do what they want to pay you for, not just what you want to do.

CSRF - Imitation is The Best Form of Flattery

Despite appearing at number 8 in the OWASP Top 10 list (2013 version), CSRF vulnerabilities are still prevalent in a multitude of applications. What is CSRF? And why is this the case? What can be done to mitigate it? Sean Wright (Lead Security Engineer at security MSP) will give you the details to those very questions and more.
