Veracode Teams Up with Featured Leading Independent Analyst Firm to Promote Awareness Around Application Security and How to Transition to a More Effective, Programmatic Approach

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Veracode, Inc., provider of the world’s only independent, cloud-based application risk management platform, today announced details of its on-demand webcast, “Next Generation Application Security and Intelligence.” The presentation is aimed at helping companies determine which software security solutions are appropriate for their business and compliance needs, and how to get started with the most effective program. The program features two of the industry’s leading experts: Chris Wysopal, co-founder, CTO and CISO of Veracode, and Joseph Feiman, vice president and Gartner fellow, Gartner, Inc.

According to the webcast, companies spend billions of dollars each year to build, buy and outsource software development. But too little of that spend gets applied to security verification of the final product, so each day we hear of yet another company getting breached due to a vulnerability in its software infrastructure. Clearly, this must change and in recent years there have been significant advancements in application security testing, with new, innovative techniques and delivery models making it easier than ever to implement a comprehensive application security program across your diverse application portfolio.

For companies that are working to make improving application security a priority, through this webcast, they will gain answers to questions like:

How do I move from ad-hoc testing to an application security program, and what challenges will I face?
What benefits can I get from Security–as-a-Service and cloud delivery models, what kinds of application intelligence are available, and how do I use it?

During the 30 minute presentation, Feiman discusses numerous application security topics, including the many benefits of Static Application Security Testing (SAST), how organizations can determine which delivery model best suits their needs, and the fundamentals of effective enterprise security intelligence. Wysopal dissects what types of application intelligence can be derived from using the Veracode platform, and how customers can translate that information into more robust security programs by examining trending data, making software quality comparisons and prioritizing remediation activities. Wysopal concludes the program by providing recommendations for customers starting an application security program.
