Overview
AppSec awareness has grown in a decade. In Veracode’s State of Software Security report, Volume one, most of the conversation was around trying to explain and advocate for application security. Today, far less of that is necessary and more emphasis is put on talking about how to build an effective, mature application security program.
In this episode of a Hard Look at Software Security, Chris Wysopal, Chief Technology Officer with Veracode, will discuss positive AppSec signs – and what they mean for security best practices.
Listeners will learn more about:
- Factors influencing the change in application security programs
- What the State of Software Security report uncovers when it comes to current AppSec efforts
- Why awareness about AppSec risk has grown, but actual risk reduction still has room for improvement
