354 Trent Hein, Applied Trust EngineeringThis is More Than a High-Level Alert for Your Computer

Trent Hein and Ned McClain, co-founders of Applied Trust discuss one of the scariest Internet subjects we have ever heard. They talk about the topic in a way that business people can understand and gives your IT staff some geart security ideas. Ned McClain, Applied Trust Engineering

Their number one suggestion is to
check the Open Web Application Security Project or OWASP. "These guys publish a lot of interesting information about what’s going on with application security on the web. They publish a Top 10 Vulnerability list. The 2007 list is out and anyone who has a web site, large or small, should be aware of what’s on this list. There's also a wonderful guide that talks through how to mitigate and address the top ten vulnerabilities in your environment.

In 2007, Cross site scripting aka XSS, has risen to the number one spot of the top ten web security vulnerabilites. Sites that allow users to post content to the site might mean that a bad guy could post malicious code to the site.

No. 2 Threat: Injection Flaws. A lot of web sites have a data base behind them and any of those servers speak a language that you can use to say, “Hey, I would like to get information from the data base, or I’d like to put information into the data base.” This has been used for a whole variety of exploits.

No. 3 Malicious File Execution, really means having good website hygiene. Demo files that came with your computer, or a sample application should be cleaned up so that a ‘bad guy’ can’t take advantage of that file and take control of your computer.

Trent and Ned give a whole new meaning to TRUST.

The stories are scary, growing in number and the Internet Predators are learning faster than we are. Patrick Sullivan, Jr., (former Sheriff for Arapahoe County) and presently Director of Safety and Security for the Cherry Creek School System shares three key points ALL parents should pay attention to. 1) Keep the computer in a common area (never in the kid's bedroom. 2) Parents learn the 'instant messaging' lingo. 3) Learn how to check the history on a computer and check it.
