The ABC’s of Web Security: Making SMB Sites Safe for Customers
Imagine a thief skulking around a mall parking lot. While that thief could go through the trouble of risk of detection by breaking windows to steal from some cars, he’s probably going to simply move from car to car checking for open doors. And more likely than not, at least a few of those car owners will have kindly left their doors unlocked. Guess which cars in this scenario are most likely to be hit?
You can think of Web application security in the same way. Defend against the most convenient break-in methods used by hackers and you’re likely to avoid most types of break-ins.
So how do organizations go about the process of locking the proverbial doors on their Web apps?
In this white paper, Cenzic, a leader in Web application security, describes the ABC’s of application security not as a checklist, but as a continuous protection cycle.
Denial of Service Attacks: a Comprehensive Guide to Trends, Techniques, and Technologies
On hacker forums, denial of service remains the most discussed topic. Hackers continue to develop tools to optimize this attack method. Why?

This report catalogs the latest trends, techniques and technologies deployed by hackers and gives security professionals specific steps to mitigate the threat.

The Changing Landscape of Network Penetration Testing
Virtual thieves, attackers, and accidental mishaps all pose significant threats to your information assets. To understand potential exposures and establish controls that protect corporate assets, businesses perform vulnerability assessments and penetration tests against their infrastructure. The purpose of these tests is to mimic real world attacks and identify risks before malicious users can exploit them.
In this paper VIOPONT provides insight on how traditional attacks have evolved and why it’s important for security professionals to keep up with the trends by adapting their security testing.
