Spotlight Presentation

Defensive ASP.NET Security

Without a doubt, ASP.NET represents a quantum leap as an application platform.   Visual Studio.NET and the CLR automate a host of gory details related to application development, debugging, execution, and application security.  If experience is a guide, we know that hackers and ne'er-do-wells are always on the lookout for vulnerabilities in our applications.  This presentation explains the attacks our applications are likely to face and what mechanisms (gory details) we can use as a defense.

Justin Smith is a veteran application developer with an extensive background in Windows and UNIX development.  He has focused for the last four years on .NET, XML, Web Services, and Data Warehousing.  Justin currently teaches and consults for mTrain.net in Atlanta, GA.  Before joining the mTrain.net team  Justin was a senior partner at Lighthouse Business Solutions.  During his tenure at Lighthouse he architected the PaperTrail and DocView document management toolset.  He has also previously worked at both Parametric Technology and Engineering Animation Incorporated in the systems integration and development teams.  Justin holds a bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech and several Microsoft certifications.
