Web App seminar

Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC), in association with the Distance Learning Centre Ltd and the Information Security Professional Associates (iSPA), organized a seminar on ‘Web Application Security-Is it a moving target?’ on Thursday, March 21, 2013 in Colombo. The seminar was conducted by the Resource Person Sujit Christy, Director, Layers-7 Seguro Consultoria Private Limited, who is also a regular speaker in security conferences and seminars.

With the technological and social changes that businesses and organizations go through, these entities own their own websites to make its presence known to the world and carry out business transactions or critical functions. As every organization goes online, many problems can arise which are directly related to the security of web applications. The seminar was a one day action packed course which covered the common vulnerabilities that are influenced by hackers, principles of securing Web applications and general defence techniques to protect against future attacks. The seminar aimed to help understand the mechanics of the components necessary for effective Web application security which will then enable users to confidently and properly defend their organisation’s assets.

The seminar focused on providing a risk and performance based approach to information security while providing recognizable value and a positive return on investment. To do so effectively, security should represent a multi-disciplined approach to the protection of assets for both information and personnel. This approach then applies that support across every functional department and location within a corporation or business entity.

Christy is also a visiting lecturer at the Department of Criminology, University of Madras, a founding member and charter secretary of the ISC2 Chennai Chapter, Board Member of ISC2 Colombo Chapter and Founder/President of Information Security Professional Associates (ISPA). He is also the supervisor for the CISSP exams in Sri Lanka and India and is also a volunteer with the ISC2 Foundation - Making the Cyber World a Safer Place for everyone and pioneered the delivery of Safe and Secure Online programs in Sri Lanka and India.

The seminar was held with the participation of Nishantha Kamaladasa, CEO, Distance Learning Centre, Lilakshini De Mel, Senior Assistant, Secretary General, CCC and Rohith Udalagama, Managing Director, Lanka Communications Services (Pvt) Ltd.
