Delivering On the Promise of Application Security – Ankur Shah – ASW #150
While the vision for app security is relatively clear, executing on that vision is still somewhat of a work in progress. Fast-moving, interdependent pieces—custom code and open source packages, infrastructure and network configurations, user entitlements—make for complex systems. In this episode, we discuss the challenge in addressing each piece independently and consider how consolidated, multi-purpose tools may present an emerging solution.
