and a firm grasp of vulnerabilities and associated protective measures. While such knowledge cannot thwart all attempts at network incursion or system attack, it can empower network engineers to eliminate certain general problems, greatly reduce potential damages, and quickly detect breaches. With the ever-increasing number and complexity of attacks, vigilant approaches to security in both large and small enterprises are a must. Figure 1 illustrates the steep rise in security incidents occurring each

Introduction to Information Security 1. So you can find the weekness and fix before it can be implamented on the server and goes live. 2. A reflective XSS attack a type of computer security vulnerability. It involves the web application dynamically generating a response using non-sanitized data from the client. Scripts, like JavaScript or VB Script, in the data sent to the server will send back a page with the script. 3. SQL Injections can be used to enter the database with administrator

Software Services 2003. All rights reserved. 1 Today’s complex software systems access heterogeneous data from a variety of backend databases. The intricate mix of client-server and Web-enabled database applications are extremely difficult to test productively. Testing at the data access layer is the point at which your application communicates with the database. Tests at this level are vital to improve not only your overall test strategy, but also your product’s quality. In this presentation you’ll

A laser failing to designate its target, an aerial refueling system failing to transfer fuel at the proper flow rate, a blood chemistry analyzer failing to provide accurate test results, a munition that detonates prematurely, and other similar conditions are all systems failures. A systems failure analysis is an investigation to determine
