Overview
Attacks to software supply chains are increasing between 3-6x per year and are causing havoc ranging from operational disruption and brand damage, to fines and penalties. Application Security teams are already stretched thin with “security issue fatigue” and suffer from a lack of resources and talent to deal with this new growing attack surface. A new approach is needed to secure software supply chains and better manage risks for your software applications and your overall business. Join industry veterans Erik Bataller, VP of Information Security at ACV Auctions, and Liav Caspi, CTO of Legit Security, to discuss practical new techniques to score and prioritize AppSec risks in today’s software supply chains. Learn how to reduce the likelihood of successful attacks while also enabling new collaborative approaches with development teams to improve your security posture. In this webinar you will learn:
- Common patterns cybercriminals use to infiltrate your pre-production development environments and embed vulnerabilities in your software
- Best practices for scoring and prioritizing the risks associated with your software supply chain
- New approaches to collaborate with development teams to jointly improve software supply chain security and respond faster to new threats
- Tools for elevating your application security risk conversations to the business executive and board room level
