Cybersecurity: Introduction to Authentication Failures with Real-Time Testing
Overview
Weak authentication is one of the most common entry points for attackers—and one of the most overlooked risks in application security. In this session, we’ll explore the fundamentals of authentication, common mistakes that lead to failures, and how attackers exploit them in the real world.
Through live demonstrations and real-time testing scenarios, you’ll see how issues like weak passwords, poor session management, insecure token handling, and missing multi-factor authentication can be detected and exploited. More importantly, we’ll discuss practical strategies to prevent these vulnerabilities and strengthen your authentication mechanisms.
Key Takeaways:
-
Understand the basics of authentication and why it fails
-
Explore real-world examples of weak authentication attacks
-
Watch live testing of common authentication flaws
-
