DESCRIPTION: Many people don't know where to start when it comes to
testing software for security. 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.
