WHO: Ryan C. Barnett serves as director of Application Security Training for Breach Security, Inc. and is also an officer of the Web Application Security Consortium (WASC). Mr. Barnett regularly speaks as an expert on web application security and internet-based attacks. WHAT: Virtual Patching for Web Applications with ModSecurity Sunday, September 23, 2007 6pm - 7pm
Fixing identified vulnerabilities in web applications always requires time. Organizations often do not have access to a commercial application's source code and are at the vendor's mercy while waiting for a patch. Even if they have access to the code, implementing a patch in development takes time. This leaves a window of opportunity for the attacker to exploit. Virtual patching (also called "just-in-time patching" and "external patching") is one of the biggest advantages of web application firewalls as they can fix this problem externally. A fix for a specific vulnerability is usually very easy to design and in most cases it can be done in less than 15 minutes. This presentation will outline exactly when and where Virtual Patching is appropriate, the proper steps for their creation and testing. Several examples will also be discussed.
