Assessing Custom and Open-Source Risk with Vulnerability and Attack Data

Speakers: David Lindner, Brian Glas, Patrick Spencer

 


Findings and Research from Contrast Labs

Presenters:
David Lindner, Director of Application Security at Contrast Labs'
Brian Glas, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Union University

Moderator:
Patrick Spencer, Editor-in-Chief of the Inside AppSec Podcast

With a sneak peek at our latest Contrast Labs findings, in this webinar you’ll learn what vulnerabilities and attacks in custom and open-source coded applications are the critical causes for concern.

You’ll leave with an understanding of:

  • How and why prioritizing what you are observing will lead to a much lower risk posture
  • What open-source libraries are most used and most vulnerable
  • Industries with the highest frequency of vulnerabilities

Effective web application security isn’t only about identifying vulnerabilities and attacks, as a matter of fact, that leads to alert fatigue. Today it’s about prioritizing and focusing and identifying what matters—sifting out the chaff from the wheat. Attend this webinar to get that leg up in your efforts.

For development teams, using automation and prioritizing identification and remediation means faster release cycles. If you are a development professional, understanding the bigger picture of observability as it extends into security will not only improve your efficiency but simply produce better code—because secure code is good code.

Security and development teams should attend this 30-minute discussion to gain actionable insights they can put into development and production TODAY.
