TOPIC: Application Security in an Ever Changing Digital Landscape

Why is application security such a crucial function of any robust Cyber Security Program. We will take a look at the state of cyber security and where the threats are heading. Why is application security still the "weakest" link in most programs and how to position application security programs successfully in an organization. We will dive into why application security is not a product but a program. Most importantly, what are the key steps companies have taken to establish application security programs that have really moved the needle with respect to producing secure, vulnerability free code.
