Dasient to Present at Black Hat USA 2010

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprises are now faced with the growing threat of third-party structural vulnerabilities from widgets, mash-ups, scripts, iframed content, external advertisements and third-party software that suffers from web application vulnerabilities.  Drive-by downloads, in part via structural vulnerabilities, are planted on legitimate sites and causes these web sites to get blacklisted by Google, Yahoo and other search engines and browsers.

On Wednesday, July 28th, Dasient's CTO and Co-Founder, Neil Daswani, will present "mod_antimalware: a novel apache module for containing web-based malware infections" at the Black Hat USA 2010 briefings in Las Vegas, NV. During his talk, Neil will describe the technical architecture and implementation of mod_antimalware, a web server module that works together with a malware monitoring service to contain web-based malware infections in an automated fashion. This ground-breaking technology can be used to:

1. Quarantine web-based malware infections before they impact users;
2. Allow web pages to safely be served even while a site is infected; and
3. Give webmasters time to recover from an attack before their web sites get blacklisted by popular search engines and browsers.

Dasient and Cenzic are also hosting an exclusive cocktail reception at the Forum Towers Emperor's Suite at Caesars Palace that evening. Come by and mingle with leading security experts while enjoying cocktails, great music, prizes and fun.  Dasient's newly appointed CEO, Paul Stich, will also be in attendance.
