<p><strong>(Aired on June 22, 2021)<br></strong><em>Earn up to 3 CPE&#8217;s</em><br><br>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.<br><br>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:<br><br><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">• </span>How to map application security requirements to compliance frameworks<br><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">•</span> Embracing and extending DevSecOps principles<br><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">•</span> Standardizing application security policies within business lines<br><br>Discover how modern application security programs can operate at the speed and scale that’s required to empower, not deter, the business. </p>

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.<br>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:</p>

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.
