-- Chenxi Wang, PhD, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research and leading expert on vulnerability management -- Chris Wysopal, Founder and Chief Technology Officer, of Veracode and author of the book, "The Art of Software Security Testing"While hackers once only defaced web sites, modern attackers are profit-driven, making financial and customer data valuable commodities. Accordingly, applications must be secure enough to protect them. Few organizations, however, possess the security expertise necessary to analyze application security vulnerabilities, placing vital consumer data and personal information at severe risk. The session will educate attendees on the importance of application security testing and remediation when purchasing third party applications or integrating outsourced applications. The discussion will cover how to:
-- Quantify the risk of third party applications already deployed in the enterprise -- Obtain an independent view of software risk during the purchasing process -- Raise the security level of applications by incorporating the right level of testing and remediation measures -- Use independent industry standards to rate risk related to software applicationsAbout Veracode Veracode is the industry's first provider of automated, on-demand application security solutions.
