Central Plains Chapter Meeting:

"Web Hacking Live!", Kurt Roemer, CISSP

 

The presenter, Kurt Roemer, CISSP, is Director of Security Research at NetContinuum where he manages the NetContinuum Early Warning Service for web security events, designs and implements next-generation security architectures, and works with organizations to maximize data center security. Roemer has more than 15 years experience in the security, auditing, networking and web services infrastructure markets.

 

Kurt will be presenting "Web Hacking Live!":

    Web Hacking Live! is a unique workshop focused on providing security professionals with a hacker's view into their web application environment. This workshop utilizes live web applications to demonstrate how the most common web attacks are carried out by using nothing more than a web browser and a few open source tools. Attendees see where the easy access points are in their web applications and the confidential data that can be exposed as a result, learn how to identify the most critical web application vulnerabilities, and what they can do to keep hackers out!

    You will learn:
    • The top 5 application security mistakes virtually every company makes
    • The biggest secret web hackers hope you don't figure out
    • The top 21 application threats and how to prevent them
    • New standards that could dramatically improve security response time
    • How to prove application security ROI to your management
