Topic: New Techniques in Application Intrusion Detection
Speaker: Al Huizenga, Director of Product Management, Mykonos Software, Inc.
Abstract: Current solutions for securing legacy Web applications rely on a “lock-it-down” approach, similar to how IT security administrators use firewalls to lock down ports and servers. But applications are complicated, and it’s often impractical to create a rule set that tightly filters every app-level input.
