[Webpub] SANS Security 519: Web Application Security Workshop

[Lisa Mayer]

For our webpub web developers, this SANS training might come in  
handy. Its a SANS Security 519 Workshop on web application security.  
Quoting from an email from EDUCAUSE:

“This two day workshop focuses on the latest tools and techniques to  
provide data to those intended while keeping out the bad guys.  
Students will have the opportunity for hands-on experience detecting  
and preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection along  
with increasing their understanding of authentication, session  
management systems and their vulnerabilities and how to best defend.

…Who should attend this workshop?
Web application system and security administrators and architects.
Individuals responsible for designing, implementing and managing Web
applications.
Anyone interested in techniques for securing Web applications.
If you are familiar with Windows and Linux operating systems and have  
some experience with hands-on security tools, this two day web  
application security workshop is the right course for you.”

The price is very favorable for EDU participants ($375 for MIT,  
regular price is $1,745). Its June 25 and 26, 2007 at the Virginia  
Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
