Web Security: Defending Your Electronic Frontier
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training

This is a 2-day workshop covering all the major topics and issues involved in planning, deploying and managing a web security solution. Your attendance will expose you to the latest security issues, hacking concepts, prevention solutions, and best-practices including standardized security protocols, layered prevention architectures, web management, and current case studies in a multidimensional learning environment involving lectures, demonstrations with live web security examples and exercises. The workshop will focus on applying the theory learned during the first part of the sessions with the practices of management, monitoring, and control of your organization's web hosting environment. The examples and exercises will be oriented towards real-life situations in which the participants can incorporate their own experiences and get answers to questions concerning current problems and issues.

During the workshop sessions, the concepts of understanding the "what" and "how" of improving web security will be integrated with the "why" and "wherefore" of sound security planning and management of such protection infrastructures. Issues of holistic security strategies, intrusion detection, and solutions will be prominent throughout the session discussions to ensure the participant's grasp of making their web security environment practical, efficient, and cost-effective. Participants are encouraged to bring laptop computers as there will be a limited number of wireless cards for use during the workshop so that everyone will be able to see and experience actual web security activities, hacking demonstrations, and systems hardening exercises.
