Cobweb Applications believes passionately in the importance of sharing best practice know-how. All the courses run by Cobweb Applications have been carefully devised to ensure students not only learn but also understand the information put before them. Instruction is delivered in manageable size units in a sympathetic style. Class sizes are restricted to a maximum of ten students to ensure a personal learning environment. Business Continuity is the process of recognizing events that will affect your business, reacting appropriately to those events, and then responding to quickly resume normal operations. Events can range from public relations mishaps, internal or external security breaches, natural or unnatural disasters, unintended privacy violations, unexpected financial situations and a host of other conditions that interrupt normal business activities. The irony is that most people know this. They understand the risks and can easily see the importance of being prepared. The problem is that creating a plan seems all-encompassing and daunting. Because the task looms so large, many businesses never get around to doing it. This one day workshop can help. It provides the software, tools, and education you need to complete your plan.

This one day workshop has been written and devised by Mike Cobb, CISSP-ISSAP and is based on the highly successful business continuity and incident management tool, IMCD that Mike helped to develop. Its primary goal is to cover the principles of business continuity and give you the knowledge and tools necessary to protect your organisation and prevent an incident from becoming a crisis. By helping you to understand the terms, tasks, and decisions that affect your organisation's ability to cope with a crisis, this course puts you in a position to take control and reduce the impact of a disaster, whatever form it may take. With the information you learn in this class, you will be able to use your free licensed copy of IMCD Pro to create a working business continuity plan.

Most Web developers learn what they know about security on the job, usually by making mistakes. Sadly, that's not working. Recent data shows that hackers have turned their attention away from operating system and network flaws to Web applications as their target of choice. Developers who once could rely on application obscurity are now targeted by criminals who use their programming errors to make millions of dollars in illicit gains and bring embarrassment and financial loss to the victim organisations.

This three day course has been written and devised by Mike Cobb, CISSP-ISSAP and is based on years of practical experience of analysing and fixing poorly written Web applications. Its primary goal is to help software developers think clearly about the vital security issues that they face regarding developing secure Web applications, throughout a typical application development life cycle. The course makes extensive use of case studies and examples, drawn primarily from Mike's experiences, to illustrate the concepts being presented, as well as to help the students learn from various mistakes that have been made in the past. It is packed with principles and best practices backed up with hard-hitting examples and demonstrations of flaws uncovered in real-world code review and application penetration testing efforts.
