Join us for an insightful tech talk with Arman Ansari, IT Security Advisor at Tribhuvan University, Nepal. In this session, Arman will share field-tested practices for reducing risk across industries, using real incident case studies of XSS, IDOR, and SQL Injection to show how attacks unfold and how they can be prevented. He will connect these lessons to the OWASP security fundamentals, and the human factor, while highlighting practical defenses such as MFA, least privilege, secure defaults, secrets handling, and more. Arman will also introduce Defense by Offence and provide attendees with actionable checklists and a clear roadmap for improving security.
