Our industry-leading portfolio of software security products and services is the most comprehensive in the world and interoperates with third-party and open source tools, allowing organizations to leverage existing investments to build the security program that’s best for them. Only Synopsys offers everything you need to build trust in your software.

Securing software takes teamwork—a unified approach from development through testing and into production. But each team has a distinct set of requirements and workflows that need to align to realize a concerted push for security. And while developers influence risk posture, they are often not trained in or focused on software security practices.

How can you make the effort that developers and DevOps teams are already putting in more valuable to the business? What's the best way to cultivate highly security-conscious developers so your software becomes more secure over time? Is there a way to derive tangible benefits for the business, the team, and the individual?

Join us as we break down a five-step process with real-world applicability. Topics include

• The critical distinction between developers' security awareness and their security capability
• Mechanisms to automate risk detection and accelerate remediation across the pipeline, including at the developer desktop
• How to establish security gates in DevOps pipelines in a way that doesn't derail development or lead to missed shipping deadlines
• How to create a DevSecOps initiative that can evolve with the business and enable developers to sustain security requirements as part of their day-to-day
• Ways to maximize security's value to the business and its customers

AppSec Automation: Five Steps to Achieving Developer-First Security

Open source and third-party software make up the bulk of code in today’s applications. Open source has become so integral to modern development that security and development teams struggle to identify all the components in their software. AI code generation only adds to the difficulty.  

From license compliance issues to security vulnerabilities to reliance on stagnant projects, it’s never been more critical to know what’s in your code. It’s table stakes for addressing these risks.  

Join this live webinar to hear top open source legal experts discuss how to minimize risks while leveraging open source in software development and M&A. We’ll cover:

Fundamentals of Open Source Risk Management

The growth of software across every industry poses significant challenges for teams that need to keep up with the fast pace of innovation while making sure the software they put into production is secure. This has led to a proliferation of tools deployed by security teams. You may ask why? In simple terms, to tackle the increasing pressure of a larger and more sophisticated threat landscape. Ultimately, teams are now left with added complexity and friction in the SDLC and a bloated total cost of ownership (TCO).  

As a result, Gartner indicates an increase in organizations pursuing vendor consolidation from 29% in 2020 to 75% in 2022 to tackle the cost and complexity of present day AppSec programs. But, consolidating vendors is only one part of the equation. 

Join us, as we unlock the key to improving AppSec efficiency  in the era of rapid innovation. We delve into a differentiated approach to consolidation initiatives that extends beyond improving TCO.  

Join now and understand how to: 

- Streamline tools & processes to improve resource efficiency. 
- Focus your teams with prioritized risk data across your security program. 
- Deliver rapid, comprehensive risk insight for improved time to audit.

How to Improve AppSec Efficiency

Python is a fast, platform-agnostic, and easy-to-learn programming language that is suited for beginners and experienced developers alike. Ever since its first release in 1991, Python has had a constant presence in the computer world and has become a go-to language thanks to its easy-to-understand code and versatility. Today, Python can boast a wide array of libraries and frameworks, and they are the cornerstone of fast and easy Python programming—the so-called Pythonic way of development.
 
But like all programming languages, Python is not immune to security threats. Secure coding best practices must be adopted to avoid risks from attackers. In this webinar, we’ll explore Python security best practices that should employed when building secure application.

- Allows users without extensive technical knowledge easily initiate scans 
- Navigates and analyzes web apps without requiring specialized expertise
- Prioritizes quality or quantity of findings  

fAST Dynamic provides a self-serve, straightforward, and efficient dynamic testing solution for organizations aiming to secure their web applications without slowing their development pace.

Dynamic Analysis for Modern Day DevOps

Companies adopt many application security testing (AST) tools to pinpoint where critical fixes are needed and avoid costly postproduction software issues. Yet despite a lot of AppSec investment, they still fail to get an accurate view of risk, and struggle integrate testing, triage, and remediation within developer workflows. This has driven the evolution of application security posture management (ASPM). 

In this session, we’ll dive into 
- The difference between application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC) and ASPM
- The capabilities that a comprehensive ASPM solution should have
- How ASPM can help your development and security teams mitigate software risk at scale
