Managed Penetration Testing - An integral part of your risk management approach​

The final part in the webinar series provides real-world guidance on how to balance application security activities, including both those that are automated and run inline in your CI/CD pipelines, and the out-of-band activities that are traditionally executed manually. Implementing security gates at strategic places in the CI/CD pipeline to break the build when critical and high vulnerabilities are found keeps teams informed and reduces communication overhead. Just as there must be continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, there also must be continuous collaboration, and continuous communication across development, security, and operations teams.

Developers are often taught to emphasize functionality over security, and many developers aren’t security experts. For this reason, it’s crucial to ensure they stay aware of the risks of vulnerable code. But training materials are often static and inconvenient to access, using the internet for guidance isn’t consistent or reliable, and remediation advice from tools isn’t necessarily project-aware or product-specific. And unfortunately, security experts are often seen as an impediment to business goals, and they may not be experienced developers. The third part of the webinar series covers developer enablement and avoiding defect management overload.

There’s risk in any M&A transaction but having the right software due diligence approach can help mitigate that risk. If software is a large part of the deal, understanding the legal, security, code and design quality risks in the target’s codebase is key. Do you know the right questions to ask?

Join this live Synopsys webinar to create or teak your due diligence playbook. We’ll cover:

•Understanding the software due diligence landscape
•The risks to look out for (and why)
•What questions to ask in the process
•How to choose the right audit partner

In this second part of the webinar series, learn how to build security tools into a continuous integration/continuous delivery pipeline. Topics covered include:
• How can you ensure that release cycles are not slowed down?
• How should you manage false positives?
• How do you satisfy compliance needs?

Development organizations continue to implement security earlier in the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. And the benefits of integrating application security (AppSec) tools in the CI/CD pipeline increase the further you shift left in the process. But software security group leaders need to know where AppSec tools should go in the CI/CD workflow, as well as their purposes in different phases. This first part of the webinar series answers some essential questions:
• How do you pick the right application security tools for your CI/CD pipeline?
• Where should you integrate your tools in the pipeline?
• How should you configure the tools?

If you offer a product via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, you may have heard that some of the most common open source licenses, while being potentially quite problematic for distributed software, may give a "free pass” to SaaS applications. Are you required to adhere to open source license obligations in a SaaS model? 

Join us for this live Synopsys webinar to learn how to address open source software use in a SaaS model. We’ll cover:

- The legal considerations around open source license compliance 
- How security impacts open source software in a SaaS application
- The operational and strategic pitfalls to avoid
- The impact on financing, M&A and IPO due diligence

Static application security testing (SAST) is critical for uncovering and eliminating issues in proprietary code. However, over 60% of the code in an average application today is composed of open source components. SAST isn’t designed to find open source vulnerabilities (CVEs) or identify open source licenses. And manually maintaining a repository of approved open source components for developers is inefficient and time consuming. That’s where software composition analysis (SCA) comes in.

Join Utsav Sanghani, product manager, as he explores the benefits of bringing SAST and SCA together. He’ll explain why using an SCA tool to scan open source dependencies is as imperative to a software development strategy as using SAST to test proprietary code. He’ll also demonstrate how developers, by combining SAST and SCA analysis in the IDE, can address issues holistically as they code, saving time and increasing productivity so they can deliver secure, high-quality software faster.

Building security automation into the DevOps pipeline is a key pain point for many organisations. A risk-based, intelligent, adaptive DevOps pipeline can close the gap between DevOps and security teams, helping DevOps teams accelerate deployment to production without compromising security. Implementing risk-based, adaptable, intelligence within the DevOps pipeline supports security activities by matching the team’s velocity, providing continuous intelligent feedback, continuous learning, continuous metrics and continuously supporting organisations as they scale their security testing activities.

Key Learnings:
- The challenges associated with implementing security testing.

- What is Intelligent Orchestration and what makes Intelligent Orchestration solution unique and optimised for DevOps?

- How risk-based, adaptable, intelligent pipeline can help you rank risks, identify changes, and improve responsiveness

- How to accelerate deployment to production without compromising security.

It's a new year and it's time to create a roadmap to help you to achieve your 2021 software security goals.

The Building Software in Maturity Model (BSIMM) can help you measure and understand current levels of success, weakness, and maturity of your organizations’ software security program. BSIMM allows CISOs and other security executives to compare data against their industry peers and pinpoint specific areas of need in their own AppSec programs.

It this Synopsys webinar, we’ll outline five components to jumpstart an AppSec program, helping you understand how to:

- Put the “Sec” in DevOps
- Deploy automation in your software delivery pipeline
- Modernize software delivery practices, such as: cloud, containers, orchestration, etc.
- Establish a security satellite within engineering teams
- Detect and respond to real-time security events

Managed penetration testing is an integral part of an organization’s risk management strategy. It serves as a complementary security testing approach to identify and validate findings alongside existing security testing tools. It also fills testing gaps that can appear as organizations determine which testing tools to integrate into their development workflows. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how managed penetration testing can help you optimize your risk management strategy.

A recent study by Enterprise Strategy Group, commissioned by Synopsys, revealed that nearly half of the cybersecurity and development professionals surveyed indicate that their organization knowingly pushes vulnerable code into production due to time pressures. In every sector, development and security teams grapple with the competing demands of development velocity and application security.

In this webinar, we speak with the study’s author, ESG Senior Analyst, Dave Gruber, about how organizations are working to build security into their development toolchains and processes. Highlights include:

- Why many organizations’ AppSec programs aren’t as effective as they think.

- Key attributes of the most successful AppSec programs.

- Trends and challenges organizations are facing in implementing their AppSec programs.

- How organizations are working to improve AppSec ROI while simplifying deployments.
