Today's approach to defense in depth for application security are siloed, lack context, and results have fallen short. But a layered approach is the key to building a world-class AppSec program that spans the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). So, how does our approach need to change?





In this webinar, you’ll hear from three experts at each of the core security touchpoints within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): at the code level, pre-deployment, and post-deployment. They will share advice on:





    

  • Key timeframes to implement security testing – and why
    • 




  • How to incorporate risk context across the SDLC
    • 




  • Best practices for application penetration testing and secure code review
    • 




  • Proper implementation of application security tools for continuous monitoring
    • 




  • Plus, more tips to achieve a layered application security strategy

Why should I use NetSPI?

We help organizations defend against adversaries by being the best at simulating real-world, sophisticated adversaries with the products, services, and training we provide. We know how attackers think and operate, allowing us to help our customers better defend against the threats they face daily.

How does NetSPI ensure quality results?

At NetSPI, we believe that there is simply no replacement for human-led manual deep dive testing. Our Resolve platform delivers automation to ensure our people spend time looking for the critical vulnerabilities that tools miss. We provide automated and manual testing of all aspects of an organization’s entire attack surface, including external and internal network, application, cloud, and physical security.

Our proven methodology ensures that the client experience and our findings aren’t only as good as the latest tester assigned to your project. That consistency gives our customers assurance that if vulnerabilities exist, we will find them.
