Summer Series: Strengthen Left: Develop your Security Muscle

Securely scaling a business with technology best practices is an immense challenge, and can be costly if not done right. Even further, with developers joining the team with varying skill sets and previous work experiences, it is imperative that employees working on the AppSec team are on the same page when it comes to building out the program.

That is where our partner Trace3 can shine. We work with Trace3 to help conduct an initial baseline evaluation of the team, and Trace3 builds out programs based on the results of the Secure Code Warrior assessment. In that way, each organization working with Trace3 has this tool to help build and plan the trajectory of a program; scaling out knowledge and additional skills needs as people are driving security programs. In addition, Trace 3 can act as the bridge for customers by providing leadership to drive the program during this period when finding experienced team members is difficult.

Join Amanda Alvarez, Sr. DevSecOps Engineer, and Steve Allor, VP Worldwide Channels and Partners at Secure Code Warrior, as you will learn how Secure Code Warrior plays a critical role in the planning of an overall AppSec strategy for early, growth, and scaling-up stage businesses.

Summer Series:  Secure Code by Design

Despite the vast array of security measures adopted by organizations, we continue to see the repercussions of software vulnerabilities. Based on our recent report ‘The State of Developer-Driven Security Survey 2022’, SCW co-founders Pieter Danhieux, Matias Madou, and Nathan Desmet will discuss the findings to uncover the challenges around current secure coding practices and identify the opportunities that organizations can embrace to improve developer security skills, and ultimately software security. Pieter, Matias, and Nathan will discuss:

What do developers prioritize and why?
Why are current secure coding practices problematic for organizations?
What steps can organizations take to improve code security in the application development process?

The challenges (and opportunities) to improve secure coding practices

This session will focus on the challenges organizations can face when implementing a security-first approach to software development and provide ideas and best practices that will help ensure success. The security challenge is especially true within the embedded software market, where privacy and security are going to be a vital component of our future of millions or billions of interconnected devices interacting with humans in every conceivable way. As always, shifting the employee mindset is one of the most difficult undertakings of a security-first approach. In this webinar, we consider these challenges and how we can harness best practices in learning technology and the contextual benefits of shifting left to optimize developer secure code training, ensure that the final software is free from weaknesses, and hopefully create more security-conscious developers for the future. Including: 

- How current cybersecurity trends are changing the embedded software market 
- The Shift Left Movement and what it means for developer learning 
- What is being done to classify and prioritize security vulnerabilities 
- How integrated tools and training can bring optimal results

Shift-left security training and vulnerability detection for embedded systems

With the rise of security breaches stemming from exploitable software vulnerabilities, organizations must look to minimize the risk of successful cyberattacks via their software and applications. The most effective time to eliminate vulnerabilities from code is at the creation stage, and security-skilled developers hold the key to making this a reality. In this webinar, we explore best practices to build and implement a cohesive developer security program, one that helps to simplify and speed up software releases while prioritizing security without compromising innovation. Our experienced panel will discuss:
- Where do organization's struggle when it comes to ensuring the security of their software releases, and why?
- When should development teams rely on tools versus skills?
- How can you instill a positive security culture in your developer teams?

Tired of painful audits? Then don’t miss this talk.

The ultimate goal of PCI DSS continues to be ensuring that all sellers safely and securely store, process, and transmit cardholder data. As we increasingly rely on online transactions, it’s fair to say PCI DSS continues to set the bar higher to give consumers assurance. This includes stronger security standards, so CISOs, CTOs, Chief Risk Officers, and Chief Compliance Officers should expect to make more adjustments in order to meet the ever-changing security goalpost. 

Join this talk to prepare your business not just for the next audit, but for audits in years to come. Here’s some of what we’ll cover:

- Hear from an experienced QSA on the gaps they look out for when carrying out an assessment; from the security controls they expect, to evidence they need of the right behaviours. 
- Hear from a Global Head of Security on how to prepare for a painless audit.
- Hear our speakers demystify PCI requirement 6
- Explore ways tools could simplify the process
- Find out practises you should be implementing to stay compliant for the long term.

Key Secrets to a Winning PCI-DSS Audit for Software Companies.

The OWASP Top 10 2021 reflects a significant overhaul, with brand new categories making their debut and injection attacks falling from the #1 spot for the first time. This increased focus on architectural vulnerabilities demonstrates a need to look beyond surface-level bugs when it comes to secure software development. 

But while the OWASP Top 10 provides great guidance on the most common vulnerabilities, organizations must recognize that it’s not a silver bullet to eliminate all software security woes, or even the ones that could be the biggest threat to their business. 

In this webinar, industry experts will offer a perspective on the OWASP Top 10 and how organizations should consider it in their software security programs to truly improve their security posture. We will discuss: 

- How do the changes to the OWASP Top 10 2021 reflect the state of software security?
- What should organizations prioritize when building a software security program for their developer teams?
- What developer-focused strategies should be considered outside of the OWASP Top 10?

If you are unable to attend live, we will send you the recorded after the webinar has gone live.
