Here is an interesting webinar on the 'Insecurities of Security Products'. More often we consider the security vulnerabilities in products apart from security products. It is ironic how a product devised to provide security can also make you more susceptible to compromise. How-So will be demonstrated through a few examples.

3 Industry experts had joined us in this webinar-

• Stuart McClure, Ex-CTO at McAfee & Lead author of 'Hacking Exposed'
• Bikash Barai, CEO, iVIZ Security

  (Presented at Blackhat, vulnerabilities may have been patched now)

Report/Study

• Key Findings
• Vulnerability Trends in 'All Products' & 'Security Products'
• Vulnerability by 'Product Types' 2012
• Vulnerabilities by Vendors
• Vulnerabilities in Security Products
• Comparative Analysis- Weaknesses: 'Security Products' Vs 'All Products'

The Comparative Analysis reveals an interesting insight, security products are least vulnerable to 'SQL Injections' while highly vulnerable to 'Access Control','Input Validation' etc issues compared to all other products.
