Keynote: CISO Perspectives: Aligning Secure Software Application Development with Business Interests
Renee Guttmann at AppSec USA 2014
Software security is first, and foremost, a business problem. Attackers have learned that nearly all web applications can be exploited via application-level vulnerabilities. Using any one of a long list of common entry points, an attacker can make the software misbehave in a variety of ways, including granting access to unauthorized data. Security-conscious organizations recognize this threat and are making secure application development a business priority. By doing this, they are creating leading programs to help protect against reputational risk, brand damage, and to improve customer experiences.
During this presentation, you will learn:
· How to create a vision of software security success aligned with business goals.
· Activities that security practitioners can establish to improve application security.
· Ways to think differently about the impact of application security so you can innovate change and be more successful with your program.
· Techniques to address today’s risks and tomorrow’s opportunities.
