DESCRIPTION:  With software release cycles coming faster and faster, and
              90% of attacks occurring at the application level, businesses
              need to ensure that the applications they run are as secure
              as possible. Experts believe the answer to this dilemma may
              be found in a third-party validation system that tests the
              security of applications, providing an approach as agile as
              the threats it secures against. This presentation will
              examine software security testing and the concept of third
              party validation in the global software development industry.
              Chris Wysopal, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of
              Veracode, will explore how outsourcing can help
              organizations to not only ensure the quality of the software
              and applications that they implement but help software
              consumers develop strategies to diminish operational risk
              and maintain stock value.
