## Description

Unfortunately, no - Cross Site Scripting (abbreviated as XSS) continues to be one of the most dangerous attacks in the world of front-end development with JavaScript. After a brief retrospective on the emergence of XSS, Google Developer Expert Martina Kraus will provide insights into current trends and advanced XSS attack techniques. The focus will be on newer developments in measures to defend against XSS attacks. After this live-demo-rich session, you should have a good overview of how you can effectively protect yourself against XSS attacks with little effort because one thing is certain: Cross-site scripting is far from being yesterday's news.
