Stranger Danger: Your JavaScript Attack Surface Just Got Bigger

Stranger Danger: Your JavaScript Attack Surface Just Got Bigger

Aug 10, 2022

Building JavaScript applications today means that we take a step further from writing code. We use open-source dependencies, create a Dockerfile to deploy containers to the cloud, and orchestrate this infrastructure with Kubernetes. Welcome, you're a cloud native application developer! As developers, our responsibility broadened, and more software means more software security concerns for us to address.

Join one of our Snyk pros for a hands-on JavaScript and cloud native live-hacking session, to show common threats, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Most importantly, we'll also show how you can protect your application with actionable remediation and best practices for each exploit we demonstrate.
