TippingPoint to Host Security Seminars in AP

TippingPoint, a provider of intrusion prevention, will be hosting a series of seminars addressing top network attacks and emerging threats.

The security semeinars, which is scheduled through the months of March and May, will cover 11 cities including Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Bnagkok, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne.

“The past two years have been a rich play of application vulnerabilities from the server to user perspective,” said Rohit Dhamankar, senior manager of TippingPoint’s security research team DVLabs.

“Attackers have started turning towards Web applications for compromise since both open source and custom Web applications have been found to be riddled with numerous vulnerabilities. Web server vulnerabilities have, in turn, fueled the compromise of desktop systems via user application vulnerabilities. It has become an easy trick to take over a Web site or host a malicious Web site remotely and attack any users directed to the site.

The seminar looks to attract IT and security executives and part of its agenda will include security recommendations for comprehensive enterprise defense and risk compliance.
