Busting The Shift-Left Myth: Why You Must Also Shift Right to Protect Your Expanding Attack Surface

On-Demand Webcast|1 Hour

The notion of "shifting left" refers to organizations conducting security testing earlier in a standard linear development process. But there's a catch: Modern DevSecOps is very much not linear -- as there should be robust testing in both staging and production environments.

Indeed, to execute DevSecOps properly, security teams need visibility into their constantly changing production environments -- especially when attackers are constantly looking to target unknown, forgotten and neglected assets within these information-rich and microservices-based environments. This is where external attack surface monitoring comes in. This practice helps you keep track of your assets so you don’t leave behind a trove of vulnerabilities for attackers to misuse. It also allows for rapid detection and response to exploitable bugs that often require prompt mitigation.

This webcast will make a case for external attack surface monitoring, covering such issues as:

  • The challenges of gaining visibility into production environments and complex tech stacks.
  • Reasons why companies may want to transition to DevSecOps for a more decentralized approach to security.
  • The advantages of a shift-left-and-right approach that tests apps through the full development process.
  • Strategies and solutions for ensuring an updated inventory of all Internet-facing assets and multiple daily releases to improve response times.
