Who Should Attend:
Webmasters, Web (eg: CGI) developers, and system administrators; general software developers may also benefit from attending. Experience in managing a Web server or writing server scripts is desirable but not required.

The Web feels safe and anonymous, but it's not. If you are a Webmaster, you must worry about attempted break-ins to your system and denial of service attacks. If you are a user, you are threatened with unwanted intrusions on your privacy. This tutorial will disentangle the confusing and jargon-laden field of Web security, explaining the risks in realistic terms and showing you practical measures you can take to minimize them, with specific focus on securing the Apache Web server on Linux systems.
