About the webinar: Scalable and Comprehensive Application Security is an essential requirement, especially for DevOps and rapid-release application. However, most environments today find it challenging to successfully incorporate a robust and resilient Application Security practice into their Continuous Delivery Pipeline.
To compound these challenges, Application Security Teams grapple with a host of capacity issues.
While applications may be rapidly delivered to customers, Application security still remains a massive bottleneck in your continuous delivery pipeline. Application security is critical because companies lose billions of dollars due to vulnerabilities in their applications. Apart from typical vulnerabilities like SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting, vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, business logic and cryptographic implementations are more prevalent and can cause massive damage.
The way to address these needs is to automate several aspects of application security. However, achieving scalable, repeatable, yet effective automation is of utmost importance to organizations, the world over. This talk is born out of over 6 years of experience of the author building out application security solutions and automation frameworks. He has seen it all. From implementation at Fortune 100 companies, to the most fast moving startups. In this talk, the author introduces the concept of Application Security Automation and details of the implementations, that work and how you, as a security professional can help your organization and your career with knowledge of AppSec Automation.
