Security Testing Session on 17th June

Hello everyone,

This is Vasanth, one of the participants of Selenium Meet. Since the idea behind these meets is to share knowledge, I have scheduled next session on Security Testing.

As most of you are aware of, Security testing has become one of the hot and emerging field in IT industry . Organizations give lot of emphasis to data security and take several measures to prevent various kinds of data breach. There are several tools available in the market that help us in identifying the security vulnerabilities. But these tools would provide us just with the result and will not be of much helpful in understanding the concept of underlying threats. Also, it is believed that the automated tools help us in identifying only the low hanging threats and only a seasoned professional could identify the threats that are hidden in the system.

So, in the upcoming sessions, I would like to explain the concept behind the leading threats and would point you the various resources that we can use to uncover the threats.

I have set up first session on 17th June, 2012 between 9.00PM and 10.00 PM IST. Please refer agenda of the session. I would request you all to participate in this session. Please accept Meeting Request.

Thanks,
V.Vasanth
