CTO Andreas Wiegenstein presents "live web hacking" in his tutorial "Ladendiebstahl leicht gemacht" together with Uwe Baumann of Microsoft at a series of workshops organized by "Deutschland sicher im Netz".
The presentations take place at the universities of Magdeburg, Munich and Darmstadt.
Using the example of a typical Web shop, Wiegenstein and Baumann show how an attacker breaks into such an application and what damage he could do if the application is vulnerable. They demonstrate that security tools like firewalls are useless against application-level attacks. They conclude that it is important to consider security at the application-level and to harden the software itself against attacks.
"Deutschland sicher im Netz" is an initiative under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. Companies like SAP, Microsoft and many others work together to increase the awareness in Germany of the risks connected to the Internet and how they can be prevented.

| SAP TechEd, Boston 2005 | |
|
|
The title and topic of his lecture: "Web Applications - Security Risk #1"
According to a Gartner study, 70% of all attacks on networks take place in the application layer. Hence the importance of application security has increased dramatically in the past few years. In earlier times almost all attacks were against the network and system layer. Today you are no longer secure behind firewalls, virus scanners and anti-Trojan software. The security of Web-based applications has become an indispensable part of any effective security strategy and must have a high priority in every risk mitigation strategy.
Andreas Wiegenstein will teach "best practices" for secure Web programming in his lecture "Web Applications - Security Risk # 1" at Teched 2005 in Boston. In addition he will present how security of applications can be significantly improved by established test procedures and consequent "lessons learned" sessions. Understanding application security is a key success factor in order to implement effective countermeasures and to your assets and competitive advantages.
