Meeting Topic: Application Security – How to Advert the Next Generation of Hacking

Jel IT Services Logo

Topic Description: The responsibility of Information Security is to protect data, including where it is exposed in all interactions between components.  The bad guys, on the other hand, need to find only one way to compromise your system. Just as one copy of an MP3 file is enough to fuel the entire criminal ecosystem, so is a single copy of your data enough for your adversaries. Furthermore, theft using any one approach cannot be undone. There is no undo switch in cyberspace.

 

The fluctuating nature of security threats force companies to reconsider technologies and employ innovative products that effectively shield their information assets from both the internal and external threats. Increased installation of complex network systems, stringent government regulations, and enhanced risks, require a comprehensive and cohesive approach which at times results in complex security solutions. Join us May 6th to learn more about Application Security in Enterprises and review the topics below while taking questions.

  • Application  Security – What is it
  • Security Products Available in the Market
  • Hacking in the Enterprise
  • 3rd Party Assessments
  • How to avoid common mistakes in Application Security

This weekend I had the opportunity to spend 4 days in Chicago with my Friends. We stayed at a buddies High Rise Apartment in Lakeview East which resided on Lakeshore drive and a stone’s throw from Belmont Harbor. While I did miss some great Dallas Saint Patrick’s Day Festivities I really wanted to see the Chicago river Turn Green. I’ve included some pictures from my iPhone so please excuse the poor quality.

One of my Goals while in Chicago was to eat at some classic eateries. We had the opportunity to have a Deep Dish Pizza from Gino’s East off of North Wells. After that we headed for Weiner Circle in Licoln Park where the curse at you if you don’t know what you want a got a Chicago Hot Dog. We also hit up Smoke Daddy’s in Wicker Park for some Sweet Burgers and Mac n Cheese.  While I don’t have pictures of the food make sure you stop at one of these places if you make it to Chicago

 

I’ll leave you with this…Explore Chicago!
