Presentation Title: SQL Injection and XSS: How to and How to prevent

SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) are frequently listed as the two top web site vulnerabilities being exploited by hackers. In this session you will learn exactly what these exploits are, see how hackers use tools to automate this hacking, and most importantly, learn the steps you can take to minimize the risk of falling victim to these exploits.
