3 scenarios where application self-protection can CYA!

Rapid application delivery is dramatically transforming how software is created and delivered, pushing the limits on the speed and innovation required of development teams. If you are wondering how this change in culture, process and operations affects Application Security, you are not alone.

HPE research reveals that while fully mature DevOps programs are rare, well over half of organizations surveyed are implementing key DevOps methodologies such as Automated Testing and Frequent Delivery. And while most agree that this presents an opportunity to integrate Application Security methodologies – that is not the reality. In fact, only 20% of organizations cite Static Testing during the coding process.

Join HPE and Coveros to discuss practical advice that DevOps and Application Security Teams, of any maturity level, can take away from these findings and begin to build a roadmap for building security into every step of the SDLC, from coding through production.

Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) is growing in popularity as a scalable solution to protect apps from software vulnerabilities in real-time while providing pan-enterprise visibility. As application security and software development organizations use RASP to accurately and safely mitigate the risk of apps in production, security monitoring groups leverage the technology to gain centralized, real-time visibility into use and abuse. Learn about Application Defender’s signature-less detection strategy and how it integrates with your SIEM.

Recent innovations in HPE Security Fortify WebInspect have enabled the automated detection of complex vulnerabilities. Hear about two recently patented technologies—multi-credential audit and login macro analysis—that enable the detection of privilege escalation, weak passwords and inconsistent authentication feedback. See critical issues such as unsafe Java deserialization, reflected file download and XML entity expansion. Learn about these vulnerabilities and ways to use WebInspect to detect them.

As threats evolve, so must application security. HPE Security Fortify continues to create and pioneer new features and functionality to further automate and streamline your app security testing program. Learn about new static scanning advances that align with DevOps requirements. Hear how scan analytics can further enhance and refine advanced auditing processes to increase the relevancy of security scan results.

Application security tools are best used when they are naturally integrated into the SDLC workflow. With integrations spanning all stages of development, deployment and production, the HPE Security Fortify suite uses open APIs to embed application security testing into the development tool chain.

As application security moves into the realm of monitoring and protecting applications in production, it’s becoming even more critical to adopt solutions that are automated, continuous and natural. New technology innovations from HPE Security Fortify enable practitioners to continuously discover, profile and assess application portfolios of all sizes.

Application Defender can provide consistent and centralized logging of application use and abuse to SOCs or others tasked with Security Monitoring. Learn about the Application Logging categories and use cases that will enable you to gain visibility into application activity across the whole enterprise without changing source or parsing logs.

While the value of your information is growing, security threats such as attacks or information theft are making headline news every day and becoming more serious. With SAP and HPE customers investing significantly in mobile solutions, web applications, and customization, it is critical now more than ever to invest in application security solutions.

Did you know?

43% of companies had a data breach in the past 2 years
84% of breaches occur at the application layer
75% of mobile applications fail basic security tests
It is 30x more expensive to fix issues in production than while in project phase

Please join this webinar where our presenter will share the current application security vulnerability situation, common challenges and the approach SAP has taken to ensure application security of its software using HPE Fortify solution.

The number of applications has increased considerably and organizations are finding they do not have the time, let alone the expertise and resources, to manage an appsec program. In this Coffee Talk, we will make you aware of options available so you can ensure the applications your business depends on, are secure. HPE Security Fortify on Demand is a managed service that allows your organization to stay on top of security vulnerabilities and the latest threats, without the stressors of doing it all yourself.

The world of web development has evolved and the tactics for securing it have advanced as well. Join Jonathan Griggs, the product manager for HPE Security WebInspect and WebInspect Enterprise, as he covers the concepts and practices around using a dynamic application security testing tool in a modern software security assurance program.

On average, the 58 United States companies participating in the 2015 Cost of Cyber Crime study lost $15 million due to cyber crime, an increase of 19 percent from $12.7 million in last year's study. And other countries are close behind. These are results from the recently completed Ponemon Institute 2015 Cost of Cyber Crime study. You know the risks, but you need the data to plan your defenses and demonstrate the cost of inaction.

For a fuller look at these and other findings from the institute’s study, join Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, to learn:

-What cyber crimes are most common and most costly
-The hidden internal and external costs you incur
-What security defenses are most effective in reducing losses
-How businesses with a strong security posture drive down costs

With cyber crime becoming more frequent and sophisticated, Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is an increasingly vital activity for an organization. Web applications and software are prime targets for hackers. SAST can help organizations find and fix vulnerabilities in their applications not only at testing, but early in the development lifecycle. In this brief, I will discuss how an effective SAST program can not only reduce risk, but also scale and augment other security efforts, saving time and money in the long run.
