Defending against Internet security threats and attacks

DATE: 24 Dec 2008

Today, attacks have clearly moved to the Web, and enterprises must now deal with threats ranging from buffer overflows to cross-site scripting. Security researchers at Information Security Decisions 2008 explain why the shift to Web attacks is happening and what that means for the average enterprise (and its firewalls and intrusion detection systems).

Panelists include Alexander Sotirov from VMware, Dave Aitel of Immunity Security Inc, Billy Hoffman of HP and Matasano Security's Tom Ptacek.

Make sure to also watch the panel's discussion of exploit research, virtualization and software developer training.

Watch all the videos from Information Security Decisions 2008.
