During this session, Ms. DeGrazia and Mr. Dormido will describe the methodology used by cyber criminals to target e-commerce environments, and provide demonstrations of analysis techniques useful in e-commerce data breach investigations. Topics during this session will include:

  • Exploiting e-commerce environments

  • How and where to search for the badness
  • Best practices on securing the environment
