McAfee Foundstone Expert to Host Webcast on Data Validation Strategies to Reduce Software Vulnerabilities

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

WHAT: Rudolph Araujo, senior software security consultant with Foundstone Professional Services, a division of McAfee, Inc. , will present "Know Your Options for Data Validation," during a webcast designed to educate web developers on how to create effective data validation strategies. Data streams are a popular vector to carry an attacker's payload. Performing a scan of any vulnerability database will reveal that the cause of most application security faults can be traced to ineffective data validation. Threats, such as buffer overflow or SQL injection and cross-sight scripting, can be mitigated by implementing a smart data validation strategy. Webcast attendees will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of validation techniques, their performance implications and discover efficient solutions through a demonstration of the McAfee Foundstone developer tool, Validator .NET.
