SECURITY INNOVATION SECURITY STRATEGIST SPEAKS
ON THE PAST AND FUTURE OF WEB APPLICATION SECURITY
Michael Gavin Explores Future Web Technologies;
Urges Companies to Focus on Security Now Instead of Later
Wilmington, MA - March 22, 2007 - Security Innovation,
the authority on application security and leading independent provider
of risk assessment, risk mitigation and training services, today
announced that Security Strategist Michael Gavin recently participated
in a Webinar aimed at helping prevent Web application attacks and
vulnerabilities. The seminar was hosted by Cenzic, Inc. and the SATO
(Security and Technology Online) Security Leadership Council.
Gavin and other members of the seminar panel explored the history of Web
application security, the major issues impacting IT today and the many
reasons why IT organizations of all sizes need to “secure the front
door” of their Web applications. Gavin also explained how application
vulnerabilities and the threat posed by hackers grow with the evolution
of new Web technologies and Web 2.0. He addressed the measures companies
should consider today, while anticipating future circumstances.
“These new Web technologies offer new ways for hackers to gain access to
sensitive data. Security managers, executives and security architects
must be aware of this so they can identify and fix potential weaknesses
before they turn into major, recurring problems,” said Gavin. “Taking a
proactive approach to Web application security will do much to ensure
the privacy and security of your company’s and, more importantly, your
customers’ information.”
