IT Security Hidden Risks: What Your Applications Aren't Telling You

Security Innovation to sponsor free webinar to help IT and Network Organizations understand and reduce application risk

Wilmington, MA (PRWEB) August 31, 2010

IT and Network Professionals spend a lot of time locking down their network and protecting endpoints but often leave their applications exposed and defenseless. IDS’s, Firewalls, and other network defenses do not stop hackers. Over 80% of all attacks occur at the application layer. Failure to adopt a secure application strategy hit Hannafords, Heartland, CardSystems, BJ’s and others hard.

This webcast will provide actionable steps to protect your application infrastructure by trimming attack vectors, mitigating web threats, and using tools more effectively. Topics include:

  • How to reduce your application's attack surface
  • Effective techniques for application penetration testing
  • Application fuzzing to find input/data validation errors that can lead to buffer overflow, denial of service, memory leaks, etc
  • What firewalls and IPS/IDS can’t detect, and how attackers exploit these weaknesses
  • Web scanners and static analysis tools: strengths & weaknesses
  • Dangers of Web Services, and how to use them safely
  • Testing for the OWASP Top Ten
