Our friendly neighborhood Microsoft Developer Community Champion, Jacob Cynamon, will be presenting the next regional MSDN Seminar Series event for Chicago on Thursday, March 25th. The March/April content looks to be covering the aspects of developing secure applications. So if you weren’t able to attend DevDays, I would highly recommend attending an MSDN event in your neighborhood.

Session #1: Writing Secure Code – Threat Defense
In this session for experienced developers, you will learn established best practices for applying security principles throughout the development process. You will learn effective strategies for defending common security threats such as buffer overruns, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and denial of service attacks.


Session #2: Implementing Application Security by Using the .NET Framework
In this session for experienced developers, you will learn how to implement additional security features to secure applications that are built on the .NET Framework. You will learn how security features are integrated into the .NET Framework. You will learn how to use both code access security and role-based security to limit vulnerabilities. You will also learn how to use the cryptographic provider support in the .NET Framework to encrypt and sign data. Additionally, you will learn how to secure Web applications and Web services that are built by using ASP. NET. Finally, you will learn a few tips for writing secure code with the .NET Framework
