Web technology is moving quicker than ever and security is constantly chasing its heals, finding bugs and creating extra work for developers. However, despite the common perception, cyber security is not a dark art; it's mostly common sense. In this presentation, we'll explore the fundamentals of cyber security and the top patterns you can use, and anti-patterns to avoid, to make you a better web developer. We'll be covering top security tips for:

UX and frontend
APIs and backend services
