(Aired on June 22, 2021) Earn up to 3 CPE&#8217;s Here’s the challenge: Web applications are progressively extending the range of critical business operations they support. But software development for cloud-native environments requires continuous security oversight. Against this backdrop, cybersecurity leaders and strategists must strike a balance between accelerating a business’s go-to-market and safeguarding the applications that fuel its growth and productivity. Producing quality code quickly and securely is always the goal. But efforts to integrate security into the software development cycle is more often perceived as a roadblock than a catalyst. Hear from top experts in a series of discussions and presentations focused on application security, topics include: • How to map application security requirements to compliance frameworks • Embracing and extending DevSecOps principles • Standardizing application security policies within business lines Discover how modern application security programs can operate at the speed and scale that’s required to empower, not deter, the business. 



AGENDA 11:00 AM ET KEYNOTE | Preventing the exhaust ports: How not to build a Death Star with your&nbsp;SDLC Kevin Johnson,&nbsp;CEO, Secure Ideas Millions of stormtroopers and galactic empire citizens were lost because engineers didn&#8217;t understand their design flaws.&nbsp;While this is a great movie reference, the reality is that organizations are deploying applications with their version of this fatal flaw every day.&nbsp;In this presentation, Kevin Johnson of Secure Ideas will walk attendees through various examples of application flaws, using real applications he and his team have tested.&nbsp;He will then discuss how the flaws happened and methods for improving your SDLC and security integration to prevent them in the future.&nbsp;

11:55&nbsp;AM ET Beyond DAST: A DAST-first tool with IAST depth&nbsp; Mark Schembri,&nbsp;Technical Solutions Engineer, Invicti The versatility of modern dynamic tools brings advantages that extend far beyond the typical vulnerability scanning functionality. The inclusion of&nbsp;True IAST functionality maintains the advantages of a DAST solution while going deeper than ever to identify and verify more vulnerabilities with access to the application code. You will learn how&nbsp;Netsparker’s&nbsp;IAST capabilities will help you:

12:35 PM ET Embed&nbsp;sophisticated&nbsp;bot&nbsp;detection into your CI/CD&nbsp;pipeline with a&nbsp;single&nbsp;line of&nbsp;code. Peter Craig,&nbsp;Director of Product Marketing, Human Security Enterprises find it increasingly difficult to defend web applications from automated attacks.&nbsp;Even when apps function as intended, they are vulnerable to criminals using sophisticated bots that mimic human behavior using mouse movements, keystrokes, and fake browser behaviors.&nbsp;Solution: By embedding effective, multilayered, bot detection and mitigation, you can protect your application from automated attacks while providing insight to development on the tactics your adversaries used and the resources they targeted.&nbsp;Learn how you can:&nbsp;

1:15 PM ET KEYNOTE | Scorched earth: Empirical research in hacking and securing&nbsp;APIs&nbsp; Alissa Knight,&nbsp;Partner,&nbsp;Knight Ink Application programming interfaces (APIs) are now everywhere, powering the way we live, work and play. But when authentication and authorization is broken, it opens everything up from the data these APIs are serving to remote control of connected passenger vehicles. Unfortunately, many organizations are using the wrong security control to secure their APIs, akin to using a hammer to nail in a screw. Cybersecurity professionals must ensure that APIs are secured correctly, so every request is authenticated and authorized. Solutions should interdict the traffic and ensure the traffic destined for the API is not synthetically generated by malicious tools. In this keynote session, Alissa Knight will share:

1:55 PM ET Between the&nbsp;chair and&nbsp;keyboard J. Wolfgang Goerlich,&nbsp;Advisory CISO, Duo Security&nbsp;at Cisco People ultimately decide our security posture. The dreaded end-users.&nbsp;People performing conscientiously&nbsp;and consistently is a lofty goal. Risk management gives us the process to follow.&nbsp;Control&nbsp;frameworks&nbsp;give&nbsp;us the standards to set and meet. Yet it is people who ultimately decide our security posture.&nbsp;In this presentation, we look at the psychology and behavior science of individuals making risk decisions and leaders affecting culture change, and how it affects the security of organizations and the applications on which they rely.&nbsp;Attendees will leave with insights and pragmatic tactics for improving the human element in risk and compliance.



2:35 PM ET How to determine what your open-source risks look like&nbsp; David Lindner,&nbsp;CISO, Contrast Security&nbsp; Studies show that upwards of 80% of software code is comprised of open-source libraries. But the reality is that less than 10% of classes within active libraries are ever invoked by the application. Yet, open-source libraries contain significant vulnerability and licensing risks with 34 CVEs per application on average and 35% of applications containing a copyleft license. Attend this session to learn what open-source risks matter and how to focus on fixing them quickly and easily.



3:15 PM ET Best practices for developers for master security&nbsp; Anna Rozin,&nbsp;Director of R&amp;D,&nbsp;WhiteSource Shiri Arad&nbsp;Ivtsan,&nbsp;Director of Product,&nbsp;WhiteSource When you ask developers what they think of security, they will likely go into the situation without much enthusiasm as in their mind – security is slowing them down and holding them back from doing their “actual” job. But – it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. The friction between developers and security teams can be&nbsp;reduced if the right tools and processes are in place. Want to learn how handling security can be quick, efficient and integrate into daily workflows?&nbsp;Join Anna Rozin, director of R&amp;D at&nbsp;WhiteSource, and Shiri Arad&nbsp;Ivtsan, director of product at&nbsp;WhiteSource, who will share their hands-on experience in managing&nbsp;open source&nbsp;components with WhiteSource tools. In this session you&#8217;ll learn:
