Did you know that 55% of apps were run in unsafe environments or with modified code? Don’t let your application become another statistic!

The DevSecOps model seeks to unite security and DevOps with the shared goal of rapid and secure software delivery. A powerful aspect of this approach is Application Hardening – the innovative practice of obfuscating code, monitoring apps in the wild, and giving apps the ability to react to attacks.

Watch our Digital.ai webinar with guest speaker Katie Norton, IDC Senior Research Analyst renowned for her expertise in DevSecOps, to discover the secrets of securing your applications in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape. Katie will also discuss how to:

-Improve security posture with build-time application hardening without burdening developers
-Gain visibility into potential attacks through tampering protections
-Empower applications to automatically react to attacks with Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)
-Integrate app hardening with DevOps processes

Application Hardening as Part of a Holistic DevSecOps Strategy

As enterprises continue actively making more apps available with greater frequency, Application Security is a top priority for organizations to safeguard their apps against threat actors seeking to reverse engineer them. This approach aims to prevent breaches in their perimeter security and protect valuable assets like IP, money, and more.

While you may already be familiar with tools such as SAST, DAST, and SCA to secure the apps you create, the working examples and zero-day vulnerabilities your apps contain require a greater level of protection.  

Join our webinar that explores:     
- Current challenges with DevOps and how to meet those challenges
- How a DevSecOps defense-in-depth approach protects your apps and organization from attacks
- The benefits of obfuscation, anti-tamper, and RASP (Runtime App Self-Protection)

How to Integrate Application Security into DevOps

You know protecting your apps is critical. How can you take it to the next level? Hear straight from our security experts! Join us for an interactive session where we will cover:

- Benefits of Obfuscation/Anti-Tamper/RASP (Runtime App Self-Protection)
- Best practices of Implementation of Guards
- Environmental guards
- Dynamic instrumentation toolkit

- Benefits of changing guards release to release
- Demonstration of App Aware

How to Implement Threat Monitoring for Application Security

Remember the time your release caused a major failure? That moment when you were trying to figure out what happened and fix it as soon as possible? It’s one of those situations you want to prevent! And it just gets more complex as you need to deploy to multiple environments like cloud, on-prem, VMs and containers.

The fact is that enterprises have yet to master the art of transparency throughout their DevOps pipeline to gain efficiency, reduce failure and recover faster.

Join our webinar, where Charitra Agrawal, Director of Product Management and John Kantirakis, Sr. Solution Engineer, will show you how to predict the unpredictable! We’ll help equip you with AI-powered predictive data that empowers you for timely deliveries and fast risk detection. It’s time to get smarter and reduce the headaches and make your DevOps “continuous.”

In this webinar you will learn how to:
* Prevent release delays by proactively understanding the release dependencies and their risks
* Predict the probability of change failure with the change credit score and give a fast pass to low-risk changes
* Remediate problems faster with data that correlates application releases with incidents and production events

Continuous Delivery on Multi-Cloud: Predicting the Unpredictable

Enterprises across industries continue to push mobile applications into their customers’ hands. Unfortunately, each of those apps contain a working example showing how to access back-office assets.

The real question is: What do we know about the security posture of those applications? Unfortunately, very little. While spend on perimeter security and SIEMs has been growing faster than inflation for years, relatively little is invested in protecting and monitoring apps that live in the wild, outside of the security perimeter.

That changed in August 2023 when we released our 2023 Application Threat Report.

Watch this webinar where we’ll reveal the highlights of the report, including:
—The odds that any mobile/web/desktop application will be attacked
—The odds of attacks on apps by industry
—The most common types of attacks
—The types of platforms that are attacked most often
—Ways to protect and monitor apps
