It's important to use a risk-based approach while leveraging knowledge about the software to get the most effective security testing. To be successful at security testing, one must prioritize. In this class, Chris Wysopal will discuss how to use white-box and black-box analysis techniques, coupled with threat modeling, to discover the highest risk threats to a program. Attendees will learn how to focus testing on areas where difficulty of attack is least and the impact is highest.ABOUT VERACODE Veracode is the industry's first provider of automated, on-demand application security solutions.
