MSDN Webcast: Using Code Access Security and Partial Trust with ASP.NET (Level 200)  

Attend this webcast to discover one of the most overlooked security features of Microsoft ASP.NET, code access security (CAS). By default, your applications have access to powerful functionality, like calling out to arbitrary unmanaged code, accessing code in other application domains, and accessing every feature of the Microsoft .NET Framework. Join us to see how you can use CAS to disable dangerous APIs, or restrict them to only the features you need. We illustrate how this dramatically reduces the attack surface and enables you to use the principle of least privilege and defense-in-depth design. Also, learn about the dangers of running in full trust and get an introduction to partial trust, its configuration, and its extensibility. In this session, we explore common scenarios for using CAS to show you how it is possible to write feature-rich applications while running in a secure sandbox.
