New for 2026! Interested in web application security? Are you looking to get the freshest byte-sized fruits and vegetables? If so, get ready for: the FAST Farm Store! The FAST Cybersecurity Research Team is proud to present their project where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about some of the most common web app vulnerabilities and attacks while shopping for a delectable assortment of cyber produce! This will be a fun, hands-on demonstration led by university student researchers and is geared towards beginners and the AppSec curious.
