WhiteHat Security today announced that Bill Pennington will present new findings from WhiteHat Security's Web Application Security Risk Report, the third report in the series, published quarterly. Based on WhiteHat's aggregate data from hundreds of Web application assessments, Pennington's presentation will provide a one-of-a-kind look at the top vulnerabilities that attackers are exploiting to break into websites.

Web applications are the newest attack target, and under assault are the biggest and best brands on the Internet.

The Webinar will provide attendees with actionable strategies to repair and protect websites from the potentially devastating consequences of attacks.

    During the Webinar, Pennington will:
    -- Identify and discuss the top 10 vulnerabilities
    -- Define the severity levels of Web application vulnerabilities
    -- Reveal the top vulnerabilities in major vertical markets
    -- Present strategies for complete website vulnerability management

Mr. Pennington is an experienced information executive and has performed website assessments in a variety of industry verticals including financial services, e-commerce and biotechnology. He is an author of the popular Hacker's Challenge book series. He has broad experience in website security, penetration testing, computer forensics and intrusion detection systems.
