Topic: Protecting Your Applications from Backdoors
Format: Speaker
Speaker: Clint Pollock

Protecting Your Applications from Backdoors:
How to Secure Your Business Critical Applications from Time Bombs, Backdoors & Data

With the increasing practice of outsourcing and using 3rd party libraries, it is nearly impossible for an enterprise to identify the pedigree and security of the software running its business critical applications. As a result backdoors and malicious code are increasingly becoming the prevalent attack vector used by hackers.

Whether you manage internal development activities, work with third party developers or are developing a COTS application for enterprise, your mandate is clear- safeguard your code and make applications security a priority for internal and external development teams.

In this session we will cover;

• Prevalence of backdoors and malicious code in third party attacks
• Definitions and classifications of backdoors and their impact on your applications
• Methods to identify, track and remediate these vulnerabilities

Topic: Oracle Security Risks
Format: Speaker
Speaker: Stephen Kost

Stephen Kost is the Chief Technology Officer for Integrigy Corporation.  He has been writing about and presenting on Oracle security and auditing for the past 11 years.  He has worked with Oracle products since 1994 in many roles including database administrator, technical architect, IT security auditor, and applications administrator.

Stephen says “For most IT security professionals, the Oracle Database is a security challenge due to the complexity of the database and lack of database experience, especially as these databases often contain an organizations most critical data.  This presentation will focus on a few of the highest risk and most difficult to solve security risks in an Oracle Database environment including security vulnerabilities, password weaknesses, and generic privileged access.  To highlight the unrealized risk of security vulnerabilities in the database, a number of actual patched and un-patched security issues will be demonstrated.  In order to mitigate these risks, resources and best practices for securing an organization’s database will be discussed.”
