Our 12pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Feb 24 will be "Practical ColdFusion Security", with Justin McLean.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)
Securing an application is far more than just password protection and stopping SQL injection attacks. Taking a real project this session will delve into the system’s architecture, closely examine the security and privacy issues and show what features were implemented and how that was determined via risk analysis. Security features covered will include code placement and caching, securing SQL databases via permissions and use of multiple data sources, code timing attacks, dictionary attacks, salted password systems, page fingerprinting, and various logging and auditing features. Security is not so much about stopping access to a system but more knowing when and how a system was compromised and minimising the damage that can be done when that happens.
