Training Techies on Security: It’s Not Rocket Science!

DevOps is often characterized as a mindset shift, but that undermines the critical cogs that actually make it work - the people, technology, and processes.

Ed TALKS: Movers & Shakers in DevSecOps

Many organizations are “shifting left” to introduce security earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The benefits are more secure software, lower risk, and more efficient software delivery. This means training developers and other roles in the process on the skills and knowledge they need to shift left. This webinar will discuss what training is needed and how to deliver it.

Shifting Software Security Training Left

As the notorious cybersecurity skills gap widens, organizations look for effective ways to up-level competency across diverse roles and abilities. However, they need help understanding whom to train, the most effective methods, and how to sustain a security culture.    
 
In this webcast, Security Innovation’s adult learning expert will put Dr. Ponemon on the “hot seat” and press for insight into key findings of his most recent research on cybersecurity training benchmarks. She’ll then discuss the power of simulation training and how organizations have used it to change security behavior.
 
Topics include:
 
• Training & Organizational Maturity – Adopting more best practices increases an organization’s security effectiveness score (SES).
• Highest Impact Activities – Learn about realistic simulation, role-based content, and measuring ability.
• Simulation Training in Business Environments – How it’s different from gamification and builds skills other modes can’t.

Addressing software security requires more than just the ‘secure code training’ approach that many organizations use and vendors sell. This webinar will help you understand why you need to go beyond the code to keep your organization’s software secure, and how to do it.

Creating A Complete Software Security Training Program: Going Beyond the Code

Regulatory compliance mandates have historically focused on IT & endpoint security as the primary means to protect data.  However, as our digital economy has increasingly become software dependent, standards bodies have dutifully added requirements as they relate to development and deployment practices. Enterprise applications and cloud-based services constantly store and transmit data; yet, they are often difficult to understand and assess for compliance. 

This webcast will present a practical approach towards mapping application security practices to common compliance frameworks. It will discuss how to define and enact a secure, repeatable software development lifecycle (SDLC) and highlight activities that can be leveraged across multiple compliance controls.  Topics include:

* Consolidating security and compliance controls 
* Creating application security standards for development and operations teams
* Identifying and remediating gaps between current practices and industry accepted "best practices”

Aligning Application Security & Compliance

Modern application design and the continued adoption of DevOps expand the scope of automated security testing and push tools to the limit. Simultaneously, complex platforms like IoT and Blockchain require more specialized tools and skills.

With software applications being more assembled than coded, and cloud CI/CD accelerating release, it’s time to sunset some legacy tools and consider new ones.

Come hear how product and application security professionals plan to scale software securely in 2022.

• The traditionalists: SAST, DAST, IAST
• Replacement players: SCA, API & container security, etc.
• New Kids on the Block: IaC, cloud native, fuzz
