Addressing Application Security Challenges with an ever-increasing threat landscape
Due to the digital revolution and the new hybrid working environment, there are increased opportunities for hackers to attempt and find weaknesses in your software applications; potentially resulting in your customer and/or employee data being stolen or worse.
As new applications and software updates need to be released more frequently, this places significant challenges on development and security teams - they need to deliver secure code at a faster pace.
Join this session to discuss what you need to consider when rolling out an AppSec program in your organisation
Key questions:
- What are the main considerations when rolling out an AppSec program in my company and how do I ensure developers are able to develop secure code.
- Do I need to perform SAST and DAST and if so, why do I need to do both?
- How do I ensure compliance with AppSec Standards and Regulations?
- How should Software Composition Analysis fit into my AppSec strategy?
- How should I assess my mobile applications for security vulnerabilities?
