Dear all:<\/p>\n

This coming Monday we\u2019ll have our one and only Mission Control on the hot-button issue of security, with demos to boot!\u00a0 It is open to the public<\/strong>, so invite your friends to come.\u00a0 Christopher Low of ThinkSecure<\/a> will be coming to SoC to give you a treat on how security works (and doesn\u2019t work).<\/p>\n

This MC session is not<\/strong> going to be recorded so if you want to hear this talk you must come down to SoC SR3 on Monday (N.B.: *not* the regular Tuesday date) 9 Jun, from 6-8pm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Talk Synopsis: <\/strong>Two categories of people (i) People who spend a great deal of time online daily for work, play as well as staying in touch with friends over social networking sites and (ii) creators of social\/web applications will find this presentation\/demo extremely relevant. \u00a0Most of these \u201conline-social\u201d people are \u201cGeneration Z\u201d folks who are IT- and internet-savvy in the way they use computers, tablets and mobile devices to stay connected and engage in heavy interactive communication to maintain their online social life. \u00a0However, very few of them give equal consideration to the way in which they use such media and thus open themselves up to web-based attacks.<\/p>\n

This presentation looks at some of the more recent and stealthy web attacks which target \u201cGeneration Z\u201d (or any user of such social media) while they are online and illustrates how some of these attacks are engineered and the impact they have on a person\u2019s online social life. \u00a0For web application developers, understanding such types of attacks will help them code better to mitigate such attacks.<\/p>\n

Through real life demos which will be shown in the course of the presentation, the presentation brings home the point that today\u2019s Generation Z\u2019s and web-app developers face a huge
\nchallenge in both understanding as well as defending against such modern web-based attacks.<\/p>\n
