Manage AppSec Risks at Enterprise Scale​

What differentiates a highly mature threat modeling program from a less mature program? How do companies get started with threat modeling? What does the journey to higher levels of maturity look like? What are the key anchors of building the threat modeling capability?

Join our talk as we share what we've learned through the years working with clients. Find out how companies evolve their threat modeling programs and maturity.

Software risk is not only a technology problem. It is a business problem.

Once you deploy and use software, you own the risk that comes with it. No matter whether developed in-house or procured from a third-party. Innocuous flaws or oversights can rapidly escalate into existential threats to a business.

Former CISO and previous board member, Per-Olof, discusses the main risks that software vulnerabilities present to an organisation. As well as how, and why, top management and the board should change their mindsets to address the problem at hand. Before it impacts their bottom line.

A Practical Guide to Operationalizing the Modern AppSec Framework

You need to modernize your application security program and you know how you are going to do it – by adopting the Modern AppSec Framework and utilizing a DAST-first approach. The next questions is, “How do I put it into practice?”

When implementing any application security process between DevOps and SecOps, there are many technical elements and considerations. As you adopt the Modern AppSec Framework you need to ensure that your development and security processes don’t bring each other to a screeching halt and leave your applications vulnerable. So where should you begin? At the beginning!

Join Synopsys and panelists as we host this webinar, Making It All Work: A Practical Guide to Operationalizing the Modern AppSec Framework.

In Part 3 of our DAST webinar series, we discuss how your organization can operationalize the components of the Modern AppSec Framework by identifying the technical and programmatic considerations of each individual component.

Register now to learn how to modernize your application security program by operationalizing the Modern AppSec Framework.

Shifting the Modern Application Security Paradigm

The emphasis on securing applications in development has not resulted in the reduction of breaches that was once expected. In fact, breaches are becoming even more common and more dangerous. Testing solely in development is a DAST-backwards approach that cannot protect applications from being breached in production.

If the ultimate goal of application security testing is a digital future that is free from breaches, we must now embrace a DAST-forward approach that accounts for the entire attack surface, incorporates continuous dynamic application testing and integrates DAST insights to increase the efficacy of SAST and software composition analysis.

Learn how a modern paradigm can take your application security DAST to the future.

Software security is a large and complicated topic, with a bevy of acronyms and inconsistently applied terminology.

In this webinar, Jonathan Knudsen clears the air by providing a bird’s-eye view of software security. You will learn what application security is and what it is not. Topics include

- How the sausage is made
- Which vulnerabilities are most common
- What the secure software development life cycle entails
- What is in the toolbox

DevOps is terrific for delivering new innovative applications to the market. But the newer trend of “shift left, shift right, shift everywhere” has increased the pressure on developers and DevOps engineers to add application security (AppSec) testing and tooling management in CI/CD pipelines to their already long list of responsibilities.

With “shift everywhere,” existing DevSecOps implementations have to evolve to manage AppSec risk without impeding the agility and frequency of software delivery. The good news is, it can be done.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

- How “shift everywhere” is impacting DevSecOps
- What are its implementation challenges?
- How to build and execute a comprehensive AppSec program to address these challenges
- Recent DevSecOps success stories

Security breaches can happen at any time. You need to stay ahead of the game and secure your applications—now. But how can you overcome application security challenges?

You’ve automated security tooling in development pipelines and your organization has moved to agile practices, but you are still not experiencing the DevSecOps promise land you were told about.

The three pillars of DevSecOps are people, process, and technology. Have you invested enough into your people? Without a bridge between the security and the development teams, all your hard work can get stuck in mud.

A Security Champions program can help enable your teams reduce process friction and ensure successful adoption of security within developers’ daily work. This talk will address

• Common challenges organizations experience
• Ways a Security Champions program can help
• Getting started with building your Security Champions program

As enterprises deal with multiple threats coming in different forms, security teams are shifting to a risk-based security to handle these challenges. One of the key tools is threat modeling, a process intended to help identify potential weaknesses and prioritize how to fix them. In this webinar, experts discuss how to define security requirements, pinpoint and quantify potential vulnerabilities, and prioritize remediation methods. Learn how to conduct a threat modeling exercise and make risk-based decisions to strengthen your organization’s security.

During this webinar you will:

- Gain insights into how to establish a successful threat modeling process.
- Hear experts discuss how to shift to a more risk-based approach to cybersecurity.
- Learn what to expect out of a threat modeling exercise and how to apply it to shore up cybersecurity.

Dynamic application security testing can uncover many vulnerabilities, but there are gaps that only a business logic assessment (BLA) can safely unpack. In this webinar, learn about the importance of a BLA and how it rounds out traditional black box scanning. We’ll show you how to

- Eliminate the noise with low false positive rates
- Get personalized remediation guidance from a team of AppSec experts
- Measure your progress over time

The Forrester report, “The State of Application Security: 2022,” notes that web application exploits are the third-most-common cybersecurity attack. Of the 4,000+ tests Synopsys Application Security Testing (AST) services conducted for its annual “Software Vulnerability Snapshot” report, 95% uncovered some form of vulnerability in the target applications

In this webinar, we will focus on the findings of the “Software Vulnerability Snapshot” report as well as

• Latest AppSec trends and challenges
• Findings from “black box” and gray box” testing
• A brief overview of best practices to address the latest AppSec challenges

The proliferation of software across every industry poses significant challenges for teams that must both keep up with the fast pace of innovation and ensure that the software they build is secure. This has led to security tool sprawl, unnecessary complexity, increased operational costs and in many cases, a decreased ability to quickly assess risk. As a result, many organizations are looking to consolidate the number of security tools and vendors they manage to improve resource efficiency and overall risk posture.

In this webinar, we will discuss the key things necessary to capitalize on consolidation initiatives beyond a simple reduction of tools, and provide a roadmap for how organizations can realize these benefits rapidly.

With the cost of cyberattacks predicted to cost $10.5 trillion by 2025, the European Commission is looking to transform the cybersecurity landscape through the Cyber Resilience Act. The goal of the CRA is to “bolster cybersecurity rules to ensure more secure hardware and software products.” But what does that mean for those of us already involved in AppSec?

Join our experts as they discuss how AppSec professionals may be impacted by CRA as it exists today. Specifically, we’ll explore:
- Which products may be subject to the CRA based on the definition of “digital elements”
- What impacts this could have on software supply chain moving forward
- How you can assess your AppSec programs to see where you stand with CRA as defined today

The CRA is currently a draft, as such opinions and insights from presenters are subject to change.

Despite significant investment in AppSec tooling, staffing, and maintenance, organizations are unable to adequately secure their software. There is a lot of complexity in managing disparate tools, and not having the means to make testing well integrated or repeatable makes it difficult to get an accurate picture of software risk posture. At large, these factors downgrade the value of AppSec programs.

To achieve AppSec efficacy, security leaders need a way to standardize testing, triage, and remediation processes, all while continuously assessing software compliance, regardless of where source code resides or how it was built. This is where an Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) solution comes in.

In this session, you will:
- Understand how ASPM can help with issue identification, triage, and software compliance, from IDE to runtime testing
- Learn tactics to standardize issue detection, prioritization, and risk assessment through a centralized policy
- Discover how ASPM can help maximize the value of your existing AppSec investments and drive software resiliency at scale

Securing today's applications requires a new approach.

You need to deliver new applications and API’s, fast. Unfortunately, this “need for speed” can lead to vulnerabilities in software code. Once discovered in production, so begins the process by which SecOps and DevOps work to fix the vulnerabilities in runtime applications. Unfortunately, SecOps and DevOps teams have historically operated independently, establishing their own processes, tools and KPI’s which can create roadblocks.

For an organization to truly develop and deploy secure applications, they need to move beyond traditional methodologies and adopt a new approach – one that bridges the gap between security operations and development.

Join Synopsys and partners as we discuss how the Modern AppSec Framework delivers a functional plan your organizations can use to develop and deliver secure applications, regardless of where you are in your security or application development journey.

Register now to learn how the Modern AppSec Framework can take your application security program to the next level.

Security is the result of implementing the tools, personnel, and insight necessary to make informed decisions to mitigate risks within the software you create and the assets you consume through the software supply chain. While this process can be elaborate, rapid releases and CI/CD methodologies require that AppSec move at the speed of DevOps.

Achieving this is only possible with integrated controls and mechanisms to detect, prioritize, and address security issues at every stage in the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines. But how do you get there?

Join us as we recommend ways to establish security within DevOps without sacrificing efficiency. We’ll discuss:
- Pitfalls that can derail an organization’s AppSec initiative
- Strategies for overcoming obstacles to efficient, effective DevSecOps
- Recommendations for realizing integrated DevSecOps at scale

The 14th iteration of the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) report was just released. BSIMM14 includes real-world data from 130 organizations and describes the work of 11,000 software security group (SSG) members helping about 270,000 developers do good security work on about 97,000 applications.
The BSIMM14 study highlights the impact of changes in software development / security such as increasing supply chain attacks and rising high-severity vulnerabilities in recent years. In this talk, we cover application security trends discovered during the latest round of the BSIMM14 research, including
• The evolution of “shift everywhere”
• Extending security programs to address supply chain risks
• Expanding AppSec beyond applications to the hosting environment

Securing software takes teamwork—a unified approach from development through testing and into production. But each team has a distinct set of requirements and workflows that need to align to realize a concerted push for security. And while developers influence risk posture, they are often not trained in or focused on software security practices.

How can you make the effort that developers and DevOps teams are already putting in more valuable to the business? What's the best way to cultivate highly security-conscious developers so your software becomes more secure over time? Is there a way to derive tangible benefits for the business, the team, and the individual?

In January, the EU published the final version of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). While this won't come into force until late 2026, there are still actions you can take.

The good news is most of what's required is already part of a mature modern AppSec programme.

In this session we’ll cover some of what DevSecOps and product security teams should be planning for to address CRA, with lessons drawn from efforts present in highly regulated spaces in other jurisdictions.

The growth of software across every industry poses significant challenges for teams that need to keep up with the fast pace of innovation while making sure the software they put into production is secure. This has led to a proliferation of tools deployed by security teams. You may ask why? In simple terms, to tackle the increasing pressure of a larger and more sophisticated threat landscape. Ultimately, teams are now left with added complexity and friction in the SDLC and a bloated total cost of ownership (TCO).

As a result, Gartner indicates an increase in organizations pursuing vendor consolidation from 29% in 2020 to 75% in 2022 to tackle the cost and complexity of present day AppSec programs. But, consolidating vendors is only one part of the equation.
