Vulnerabilities within information security organizations have led to financial losses, regulatory compliance issues and customer dissatisfaction. Cenzic's Hackinar series serves as the industry's first curriculum to demonstrate real-world hacking scenarios and offer practical guidelines on how to effectively implement a sound defensive plan that will help mitigate the risk of these attacks targeted at web applications. Multimedia presentations of actual application attacks will provide an inside look into application penetration in the real world, and will be countered with remediation strategies for attack avoidance.
"Offering an educational forum aimed at counter-acting hackers'
exploitive practices is important as the Internet continues to be a mainstay in our business lives," said Stracener. "These hackinars will investigate specific attacks such as session hijacking and cross-site scripting and provide insight into how hackers exploit applications for malicious intent. This series extends our ongoing commitment to identifying, researching and educating the market on best practices for protecting customers, applications and businesses from information security threats."
