Securing JavaScript

About this presentation

<p>Usage of open-source JavaScript modules has grown more than 25,000% in the last 5 years. An average modern web app has 2000 modules in it, and a big company will be using more than 20,000 different packages. </p> <p>All this code re-use is great, but processes for tracking and securing open source code in other languages don't fit the scale and speed at which JavaScript operates. We'll talk about how we got here, and how to keep your apps secure in the JavaScript-heavy development stack of 2019, as well as some other recent improvements in npm that can help your team work together better and faster.</p>
