Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 4, 2004



Vigilar Inc., an information security consulting firm and security solution provider, announced today that Chief Technology Officer, Joseph Dell, will be a featured speaker at ITEC Atlanta. Dell will be presenting a section on defending computer networks against application-level attacks. ITEC Atlanta is a technology conference that is designed for both IT professionals who manage infrastructure and IT resources, and business executives that leverage technology for business operations.



Among the most prevalent and perilous hacks plaguing corporate IT today are those targeting security flaws in particular applications. These application-level attacks range from Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection, to new intrusion and disruption techniques that exploit as-yet-undiscovered vulnerabilities in your programs. Unfortunately, they are often too clever for your firewalls to block, and too dangerous to ignore. Learn about the use of dedicated application firewalls, intrusion-protection systems, vulnerability scanners, and other methods used to defend your business against application attacks.
