LADOTNET Sept Event: Practical Web Application Security with ASP.NET and MVC

Tonight I will be speaking at the Los Angeles.NET User Group on Practical Web application Security with ASP.NET/MVC. Following is the abstract.

Abstract:

This session is a hands-on introduction to the web application security threats using the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) top 10 list of potential security flaws. The OWASP Top Ten provides a powerful awareness list for web application security and represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are.

Focusing on Microsoft platform with examples in ASP.NETand ASP.NETMVC, we will go over some of the common exploits and techniques for writing secure code in the light of OWASP top 10. In this code centric talk, we will discuss built in security features ofASP.NET and MVC such as cross site request forgery token and secure cookies and how to leverage them to write secure code. The OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks for 2010 which will be covered in this presentation include Injection flaws, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Broken Authentication and Session Management, Insecure Direct Object References, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF),Security Misconfiguration, Insecure Cryptographic Storage, Failure to Restrict URL Access, Insufficient Transport Layer Protection and Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards.
