Zero Trust Security and Authentication is on most CISOs, CTOs and architects top 10 'must do' lists and for good cause! Everywhere you read about bad actors, phishing and ransomware attacks with ever increasing frequency. Join us to learn how to implement one of the safest, most hacker-proof means of authenticating your users available today: Hardware-based authenticators!

Hardware based authenticators include security keys as well as device-resident bio-authenticators such as TouchId and Windows Hello. In this presentation, we will explore these devices, how they are accessed, managed and used to provide virtually hacker-proof authentication in modern web applications. We will discuss the current industry standards and specs which govern these devices and their use including FIDO and WebAuthn.

The traditional 'App' is dead. Engaging your users has never been more important than it is today. Competition for user attention is fierce and ruthless. Web Push Messaging, Smart Speakers and BOTs can thrill your users and give you the edge over your competitors. But it is imperative that you design your apps and services to be both user and developer friendly if you want to take advantage of these next generation engagement technologies. Join us to ensure you are armed with the latest best practices in designing and implementing these game changing devices which will let you delight and retain new and existing users of your services.

Join us for this thought provoking journey of discovery as we explore the real strategies that you can apply today as you architect your new or existing stack to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for 'real-time' applications and data services, fed by reactive data sources, regardless of your current technology choices.

Users are demanding applications which keep them informed of new events as soon as they happen. They are no longer willing to accept “Just hit the refresh button” or “It will update in a few minutes by itself” when demanding satisfaction of this new basic requirement. They are collaborating in real time, co-editing, co-authoring, 'co-labor-ating' with colleagues across the country and around the world, chatting over the phone or VOIP while working together via your app. They want their updates to travel from their laptop to their co-workers screens as fast as their voice reaches them through the phone. This is a tough requirement to meet, especially when trying to put a modern face on a legacy app or integrating a shiny, new, reactive app with a legacy, REST-based datasource.

And it is not just your end-users that are clamoring for reactive data sources. No, the requirements for server-to-server communication of changes to data or state have forever changed. REST no longer is King in the world of web services. REST just doesn't cut the mustard any longer. Users of your data services are also demanding more flexible, reactive options when consuming your endpoints. They want to be able to subscribe to specific data sets and be updated in near-real-time when changes occur without the need to poll your APIs for such changes.

Many of our apps allow users to upload files which then become available for some users to (re)download. Viruses and malware could tailgate these files into your system and infect your users! Join us to learn how to avoid this potential fatal mistake!

Malware and virus-based attacks are on the rise. We have all seen the news stories all around us. How do you easily prevent damage to your corporate reputation and potentially devistating damage to your users from such threats?

Join us for an in-depth discussion and exploration of an effective architecture which detects, isolates and prevents downloading of infected uploaded files. We will also discuss other practical limits you should place on file uploads to avoid performance and UX issues.

Vue is a new, powerful framework for building real-world applications. Enterprise ready, with a rich and diverse ecosystem, Vue is the currently ranked as the #2 front end framework and is rapidly gaining on its older brother, ReactJS. Join us for this fifth in a comprehensive series of sessions which will take you from blind novitiate to visionary VueJS expert in no time!

You have a great start on your app but now it is time for some care and feeding of your data-side. Join us in this next session in our VueJS presentation series as we explore some of the many options for providing data to your VueJS application including using GraphQL, Prisma and Apollo to implement persistence and realtime data pushes.

Everywhere you look, security breeches, phishing attacks and ransomware attacks are in the news and should be in the forefront of every technical leader's top 10 concerns. An effective strategy to combat such attacks and vulnerabilities begins with a zero-trust inspired authentication strategy, application architecture and deployment infrastructure.

Join us for an in depth analysis of the current options and best practices around implementing zero-trust compliant, modern authentication architectures and systems.
