Post Webcast: Is Your App Secure?
Unfortunately, right at the very end of today's Webcast we experience a small technical difficulty with the on-line evaluation form. If you were not able to fill out the evaluation and you attended today's session can you please do so now, here.
The moral of today's Webcast was to show that there are many readily available tools you can use to quickly test for potential security vulnerabilities in an application that you contracted out to be developed. By no means are we suggesting these simple techniques is all you have to do to validate a claim made by a vendor that their application is secure.
But rather, the goal was to show that there a lot of tools you can use to do some preliminary security test and not take security for granted. Most likely, if you find security vulnerabilities by using these tools then you probably found low-hanging fruit. And if you can these low-hanging fruit then you can bet there are much more subtle and series security vulnerabilities.
Here is a list of the tools we showed today and where you can find them:

Today is my last day at Microsoft Canada and you will be in good hands with Jean-Luc David and the Security Team.
Happy Security Hunting!
