About this talk

Who says you can't train and game at the same time?! Almost ALL research shows the origin of application attacks point to the lack of secure coding education, training, awareness, and skills. In fact, 70% of developers indicate they lack the necessary training to adequately secure the software they develop. The facts show: - There are 22M software developers around the world (from Evans Data) - 90% of security incidents result from defects in the design or code (from DHS) - 21% of data breaches are the result of software vulnerabilities (from Verizon) - 1 in 3 of newly scanned applications had SQL injection vulnerabilities over the past 5 years (from Cisco) - And there is a 100 to 1 ratio of developers as compared to application security personnel (from SANS institute) During this webinar Dr. Michael Workman, a professor of technology management at Texas A&M University in College Station, and Kurt Risley, the SME of Codebashing at Checkmarx, sit down and discuss best practices for training developers. And specifically the results that Dr. Workman observed when his students started using CxCodebashing as part of their practice.
