Peter Wood to present at FaceTime webinar on Tuesday

22 June 2009

Infosecurity is pleased to report that Peter Wood, chief of operations with First Base Technologies, the penetration testing specialist, is presenting at the FaceTime-sponsored webinar taking place at 10am on Tuesday of this week.

Also presenting will be Chris Boyd (aka Paperghost), director of research with FaceTime Security Labs and Nick Sears, vice president of EMEA for the Web 2.0 security vendor.

Wood's presentation will include details of how Web 2.0-driven technologies such as wikis, blogs, instant messaging and IPTV - to mention but a few - now pose a serious threat to the security of company IT resources.

Cross-referencing information from security luminary Bruce Schneier, Wood will talk about Linked-In and Twitter from a hacker's perspective, as well as the dangers of cross-site scripting attacks and cross-site request forgery attacks.

Wood, who is also an ISACA conference committee member, is well known in IT security circles and has industry experience dating back to the 1980s.

There will be an open Q&A session in the final third of the event at which attendees can ask their IT security questions of the panel.
