Talk title: Business Logic Abuse: Technology agnostic mapping of attack types

Abstract: OWASP's technology specific top 10 lists have provided a ton of value, but it's time for a different approach to business logic abuse. The rise of APIs and complex business logic attacks requires a new taxonomy that isn't tied to a specific technology. In this talk we'll explore the newly published Business Logic Abuse Top 10 list, including the methodology behind it.
