Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

Our 12pm (US ET) talk on Thursday June 17 will be “Introduction to FuseGuard and Web Application Firewalls”, with Pete Freitag. (Editorial note from Charlie: Please note from the description that this will be both a general introduction to web app firewalls as a class and to a particular one, Fuseguard, presented by the maker of FuseGuard.)

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Web Application Firewalls are becoming a more and more a crucial part of web application architecture. Learn about the different types of Web Application Firewall’s, and why you might want to deploy one in front of your ColdFusion Application. We will then get into some of the specifics of FuseGuard, a web application firewall written purely in CFML.

MEETING URL: http://experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup/
DURATION: Approx. 1 hour
Meeting will be recorded. URL will be posted after meeting at http://recordings.coldfusionmeetup.com
