It has been widely reported that 75% of all attacks are targeted at the web application layer. For Department of Defense and Civilian security professionals to stay ahead of hackers and protect sensitive data while managing FISMA compliance they need to first understand how vulnerabilities in applications are exposed and then exploited by cyber-criminals.
This free symposium will combine an interactive panel discussion with a live demonstration designed to showcase the techniques hackers use to exploit application vulnerabilities.
The panel, comprised of senior Government DoD and Civilian security executives, will be moderated by David McClure, Research Director for Gartner Inc.'s Global Public Sector.
