Simon Herring – Un-clutter your security world: Tips for Managing Information Overload

A security professional’s day is often crammed with the predictable and the unplanned. We march, run, and sometimes flail to the beat of an adversary that tries to outwit our defenses.  And if normal Internet chaos wasn’t enough (Cyber crime, SQL injection, XSS, Zero Days, etc.) home-spun organizational directives and risky projects leave us feeling like the management team inside our gates is more dangerous than the adversary outside our walls.

Brent Houston – Web-Application Hiving: Honey-based Approaches to Application Security

This talk will cover the basic ideas behind using low interaction honeypot tools with your existing and new web applications. Details of this approach, the value it brings and how it works will be discussed with examples at both the strategic and tactical levels. Participants will take away an understanding of how honey-based Technologies can fit into their web application security plans, how to implement them in existing applications and how to add honey surfaces to their upcoming development projects.
