Web Application Security: The New Battlefront in Online Risk

High profile online security and privacy breaches have fueled fear of completing transactions and sharing personal information over the Internet. Privacy and security legislation such as Canada's PIPEDA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), combined with the startling rise in ""phishing"", ""pharming"" and identity theft, have made it necessary for organizations to comply with and manage a myriad of online requirements.Many organizations are legally bound by legislation to protect the privacy and security of personally identifiable information, and if hackers can get at this sensitive information, run the risk of not being in compliance. To avoid online security breaches, it's critical that both private and public organizations establish formal online risk management processes and to proactively monitor through the use of best practices and technology. Security breaches and non-compliance can result in brand, reputation and trust erosion; lost revenue and business opportunities; and in many cases, litigation.

In this session will discuss how organizations can proactively manage web application security and regulatory compliance
