Quantiq: Reseller of Web Application Security

Do you know Quantiq? Then ask them about Web application security.

Quantiq training in SingaporeI just came back from a whirlwind trip from Singapore where we presented our Web application security software to Quantiq and their clients. 

Quantiq is a Cenzic re-seller and they are very excited to have their clients protect their Web apps from hacker attacks using our product suite.  As you can see from the photo, it was a packed event, with over 100 people attending for the full day (8 AM to 6 PM).

Some of the topics I taught included:

  • Common Web Application Attacks
  • What is Web Application Security (Part 1 and 2)
  • How to Handle AJAX and Web Services
  • 360-Degree View of your Enterprise’s Application Security Posture
  • Spidering and Navigation in Web Applications

So if you are in talks with Quantiq, inquire about Cenzic and Web application security.  They can hook you up.
