For a developer conference, NDC Oslo had a really strong security track this year. Also the audience appreciated that – from the five highest ranked talks – three were about security. Troy has the proof.

I even got to see Bruce Schneier for the first time. It is fair to say that his “Secrets & Lies” book changed my life and was one of the major reasons I got interested in security (besides Enno).

Brock and I did a two day workshop on securing modern web applications and APIs followed by a talk on Web API security patterns and how to implement authentication and authorization in JavaScript applications.

Other talks worth watching (I hope I haven’t missed anything):

• Andre on security headers
• Niall on creating a security tester toolkit
• OWASP Top 10 for AngularJS
• Barry on being Barry
• Troy on shady things and hacking

Well done, NDC!
