Come and hear how the PEN solution, combined with our Secure Connected Access security infrastructure, can provide the ideal security and business continuity solution for your company.

1:00-1:50 Web Services and Identity Management

2:00-2:50 Web Application Security - The Forgotten Layer

FishNet Security, Inc.

Paul Klahn, CISSP
Director of Assessment Services

Network engineers have spent a great deal of time securing the perimeter - firewalls, intrusion detection, and strong authentication. Little attention was given to public traffic to our Web servers. With today's Web applications and increased interoperability with data bases, attackers have moved from the hard perimeter to the softer application for exploit. By utilizing simple exploits against vulnerable Web applications, all the work spent on perimeter security is easily negated. This presentation will offer a discussion of common Web application attacks along with strategies to detect and mitigate attacks.
3:00-3:50 Securing Against Hostile Code by Building In Security Policy - A Practical Example

SAGE Inc

Louis A. Jurgens, CISSP
Executive VP for Sales and Marketing

To secure against non-reproducing hostile code like trojans, sniffers, spyware and keyboard loggers, one needs to keep this malware out in the first place. Can this be done with firewalls or intrusion prevention schemes? Perhaps, but a locked-down O/S, coupled with strong policy enforcement gets at the core of hostile code protection. Of the three elements to data protection, physical security, network security, and policy enforcement, it is policy enforcement that is scrutinized least by vendors, thus causing a dearth of vendor solutions in this area.

Even the most skilled administrators are prone to error, so why not use technology to reduce or eliminate human-induced errors, specifically by applying this concept to web server administration?

This talk will discuss a practical example of the application of a rigorously enforced security policy to a secure web server. Mandatory access controls and rules of least privilege are strictly enforced from the factory through the use of a hardened O/S along with specially tailored applications for http, POP3, SMTP, and ftp services. By hard-coding security policy into the overall system, system administrator errors are eliminated, thus preventing malware execution, or exploits allowed by human error. A side benefit is the complete elimination of continual updating and patching of the web server.

4:00-4:50 Identity-Based Access: The Business Imperative

Dewpoint

Dale DeLoy
Chief Technology Officer-Business & Portals Integration (BPI)

Dewpoint “architects for change” so that our clients have integrateable access management and a future-proofed approach to their identity management and provisioning goals. Our success stories in directory, single sign-on, profiling and entitlement include: Motorola, Mellon Bank, Lucent, Cablevision and other Fortune 200 clients throughout the mid-west.

5:00-5:50 Integrateable Identity Infrastructure

Caymas Systems

Eric Clelland
Vice President of Sales

Enterprises have a business imperative to provide access to their enterprise data and applications for Extranet business partners, Remote and mobile
employees, and Internal LAN users. As enterprises become more extended, they become increasingly vulnerable to both internal and external security
threats. Perimeter security solutions alone are inadequate as they only parse anonymous bad traffic. Identity-Based security is required to address
both bad users and bad behavior and to provide fine grained auditing for regulatory and legal compliance (e.g., HIPAA). This presentation will discuss the new concept of Identity-Based Security Appliances as a radically economical, easy to deploy, and high performance approach to Extranets, Remote Access, and Internal LAN access control.
