SQL injection is widely recognized as one of the biggest threats to application security, but there isn't nearly as much concern over other injection attacks. LDAP injection, XPath injection and similar exploits are just as damaging and receive a fraction of the attention.

In this podcast, expert Caleb Sima, co-founder and CTO of SPI Dynamics Inc. and director of SPI Labs, discusses the various injection attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS), and recommends tools to help secure your applications. Additionally, Caleb offers straightforward prevention techniques -- including one that prevents about 80% of all injection attacks.
