Advanced Web Application Security

The security landscape has changed dramatically in the past 12 months. Unless you are aware of CSRF, Javascript Highjacking, and the many ways to fool an XSS filter, it's likely that your web application will not be secure. Attackers used to concentrate on ActiveX, but now Javascript, CSS and even simple HTML elements have are used against websites.

This session will outline the challenges facing the inhabitants of this strange world called 'web 2.0' and the options for protection, both from the point of view of site owners, and web users.
