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
applications
