Step right up and lock it down! Alpha Five Security Webinar!

How safe is your Web application? You see it in the headlines every week. Some malicious hacker manages to make off with credit card numbers, personal information, or security secrets. The latest and most notorious concerns a 28-year-old from Florida who allegedly stole over 150 million credit card numbers from TJ Maxx, Dave and Busters, Heartland Payment Systems, and 7-11.

But security breaches and cyber crimes aren't limited to just big companies. Any business that has valuable or sensitive data needs to keep that data protected and available to users on a need-to-know basis. And no reputation -- from the smallest mom and pop shop, to the world's largest corporation -- can come out unscathed from a security breach.

• Businesses want to be confident that their customer information is protected and private.
• Colleges and schools want to feel that student academic and payment records can only be viewed and modified by authorized users.
• Medical professionals don't want to worry that patient health records could become available to anyone other than the patient and their doctors.
• Cities, towns, police departments, and government agencies need to assure the public that information in their systems is secure.

And many laws have been (and will be) introduced that obligate you as a developer, administrator, or business owner to keep your data safe. Some of this legislation includes HIPPA (for health insurance), FERPA (for student and education records), GLBA (for banking and insurance), as well as the PCI DSS regulations (for anyone who handles credit cards). Similar legislation exists in other countries worldwide. And the penalties for non-compliance are high. In the case of PCI DSS, you could be fined $10,000 for each credit card account that is stolen or compromised.

That's why Alpha Five has built-in security. It's easy to implement, and we've created our newest webinar to show you how. The Alpha Five Security Webinar will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. (EDT). That's 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. Pacific time, and 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. U.K. time.

Registration is open now, but hurry because the early bird $99 pricing ends this Thursday, Sept. 17.

See How to Use the Alpha Five Built-in Security Module

Since Version 8, Alpha Five has had a comprehensive Web Security Framework integrated right into the product. But in order to take full advantage of it, you need to know how it works and how to use it effectively.

In this webinar, Jerry Brightbill -- the creator of Alpha Five's Security Framework -- will explain everything you need to know to implement security in your Alpha Five Web applications with confidence. During the two-hour session, you will:

• Learn how to avoid common mistakes that could render your application vulnerable.
• See how Alpha Five's architecture protects your data tables.
• See how to set up security groups with different access rights.
• Learn how to tie your application into the built in security module using the ULINK field.
• Learn about the new component level security, which allows components to show different fields to different users.
• Be able to assure your clients with confidence that their applications and data are secure.

We received a ton of great feedback from attendees of our Alpha conference in August, and as a result, we wanted to make an additional security webinar based on Jerry's presentation at the conference available to those of you who could not attend. This is not a replay. Rather, it's a live, two-hour event given by Jerry and recorded so that you can review it later for reference.
