Abstract

In the dynamic and often challenging landscape of software security, understanding how to spot and address vulnerabilities is crucial. In this talk we will go into an in-depth exploration into the identification, understanding, and mitigation of security flaws within Go applications.

During this talk, we will demystify the complex world of software vulnerabilities by applying them to the straightforward, yet powerful, language of Go. Known for its simplicity and performance, Go is increasingly adopted by organizations worldwide. But with its widespread use comes the responsibility of ensuring secure, vulnerability-free applications.

Our journey will begin with an introduction to common security vulnerabilities found in software, from injection attacks to improper error handling and insecure dependencies. We will then focus on how these vulnerabilities manifest in Go applications, providing real-life examples and case studies.

Subsequently, we will learn how to leverage Go's features and various security tools to detect these vulnerabilities early in the development cycle. We'll also walk through the process of conducting static code analysis and dynamic analysis to unearth potential threats.

Finally, we'll outline best practices for secure coding in Go to prevent such vulnerabilities in the first place. By the end of this talk, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to write more secure Go applications and be better equipped to tackle any security issues that arise.

Join us on this explorative journey and take the next step in fortifying your Go applications against vulnerabilities, making them resilient in the face of evolving security threats.
This talk is a must-attend for any Go developer keen on enhancing their security skills and improving their application's security posture.
