According to a recent study, 9 out of 10 web sites have security vulnerabilities.

Try to be website #10 and come to this half-day tutorial which covers common and not-so-common (but still dangerous) security vulnerabilities, how they are exploited today, and which countermeasures are feasible.

Topics covered include XSS (Cross-site scripting), CSRF (Cross-site request forgery), SQL injection, attacks on Ajax-y websites, protection against automated HTTP requests, and more. You will also hear war stories from real-world security audits, and get an overview of suitable development processes and testing tools.
