The Tokyo PC Users Group in conjunction with Temple Univerisity Japan is
please to announce the following workshops:

====
The Dangers of Internet Web Application (WAS 101)
====
Recent studies by Gartner Group found that 75% of Web attacks occur at the
application layer.

When these attacks succeed, the damages could be as embarrassing as site
defacement, or as crucial as stolen credit card information, stolen customer
information, and worse. These attacks succeed because majority of web
applications are vulnerable. As the number of online shops, and sites with
sensitive data increases, so will the number of security incidences and
thefts involving these sites.
Just look at these chilling facts:
- According to the FTC, more than $18 billion in sales in 2003 is expected
to be lost due to concerns about online security
- Petco.com left as many as 500,000 credit card numbers open to anyone able
to construct a specially crafted URL
- the FTC fined Guess? Inc. after a code vulnerability on the site made some
200,000 credit card numbers available.

Don't let your web applications become statistics like these!

Learn what these common vulnerabilities are and how to prevent them. No
programming experience required.

Mr. Terumi Laskowsky, MBA CISSP is the instructor for this class.
