The Web Hacking Incidents Database (WHID): Trends in Web Application Security

Presented by Ryan Barnett, Director of Application Security, Breach Security

What are the emerging trends in web application security?  In this 30 minute webinar Ryan Barnett, a SANS/GIAC certified instructor, will provide you with an overview of web application security and valuable industry tools. 

Many organizations today have a difficult time finding reliable data on web attacks and web defects because the number of web attacks reported is a small fraction compared to the actual number.  One reason why it is so tough to find good data is because web incidents are difficult to quantify because of their stealth nature.  In addition, in many cases of web attacks victims hide the breach or are not aware that a web attack had occurred.  Ryan will provide you with attack and vulnerability resources, discuss the challenge of risk analysis for web applications, cover the OWASP Top 10 for 2007, and an overview of the WHID database.

During this 30 minute webinar you will learn:

  • You will identify the drivers behind web hacking.
  • You will see the methodology hackers use.
  • You will understand the types of organizations attacked most often.
  • You will see the common outcomes.
