Presenters:
Shane Grennan - Fortinet
Description:
Every organization, include Higher Education, faces the challenge of making critical systems available to students and staff via the web, and so exposes them to the Internet. It is required to drive efficiencies and productivity. However all software has security vulnerabilities but software vendors are often very slow to fix security holes.
This session will outline;
1. Today’s Web Applications threats and how they work
2. Why traditional Network Security is useless against this threat
3. Why PCI is relevant and what it means
4. Who is responsible – the customer or the software vendor?
5. How Web Application Firewalls help
6. How Application Development costs savings can be achieved at the same time
