SOUTHFIELD – Alex Hernandez, Director of Engineering with Purewire, will discuss how the web as shifted and whether your computer network is ready at the May 21 meeting of Motor City ISSA. RSVP deadline is May 18.
Information security remains a critical piece of the enterprise infrastructure, and one of the most active areas is happening on the Web. While advances such as social networking sites like Facebook, Web applications like Twitter and Flickr, and commerce sites like Craigslist and eBay are growing in popularity, the number of threats to end users also are rising.
Three fundamental shifts have happened in recent years:
1) Explosive growth at a rate of one new domain coming online each second;
2) dynamic, AJAX-based applications making the browser the new operating system; and
3) user-generated content from millions of consumers leaving a void in online trust.
That said, the Web is a serious threat to Internet users and corporate networks, and traditional security approaches can’t keep up. Join us for this interactive discussion around what’s happened in past year, where we are today, what we can expect in this vulnerable area going forward, and key tips for protecting your network and your users.
Hernandez holds a BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida and has over 14 years of industry experience in securing Internet infrastructures. During the last 2 years he has specialized in web security. Prior to Purewire, Alex spent over 7 years with Ciphertrust and Secure Computing as a Engineer, Director of Advanced Product Development and technology evangelist. Previous experience includes developing financial and portal web infrastructures.
