  ICS: Application security breakfast briefing

  8-9am
  

  The Irish Computer Society, 87-89 Pembroke Road, Dublin 4

  
  

  In the race to develop online services, web applications have been developed and deployed with minimal attention given to security risks, resulting in a surprising number of corporate sites that are vulnerable to hackers. At this breakfast briefing, find out what vulnerabilities are being exploited and how to avoid falling victim to them. To keep things interesting demonstrations of common vulnerabilities will be given along with demonstrations of the tools and techniques used to identify them. After this briefing you will never trust your browser or the Internet again!
