Let's be honest, PHP has had a rocky history with security. Over the years the language has been highly criticized for it's lack of a focus on security and secure development practices. In more recent years, however, a resurgence has happened in the language and community, bringing secure development back into focus. With PHP 7 on the horizon, the language is making even more strides to improve some of its wayward ways of the past and reinvent itself. I'll share practical code examples, tools, libraries and best practices that are making it easier than ever to keep PHP applications safe.
Come along with me as I guide you through both the language improvements and community encouragement making PHP a more secure place.
