Putting People Back at the Heart of Application Security

In application security, there is no single set-it-and-forget-it solution that will ensure the health and fortitude of your code. John Smith, Director, Solution Architect, EMEA and APAC for Veracode, will discuss the critical role that humans play in the successes (or failures) of modern technology, and demonstrate that software can’t operate to its fullest potential without the right brainpower behind it. Key Learning Outcomes: - Learn what makes a successful collaboration between Security and Development teams, including eliminating waste, minimising bottlenecks and understanding both pain points and priorities - Understand how to operate security at scale while reducing costs and removing the need for expensive headcount - Come away with insight into augmenting security best practices with a human touch - Get to know the differences in vulnerabilities found by hackers versus automated tools - Learn when to choose between automation and human-powered security
