Have you adapted your AppSec?

Presented at LocoMocoSec 2019, April 19, 2019, 8:30 a.m. (45 minutes).

In the ever-evolving, fast-paced development world, application security has not scaled well. Incorporating application security and testing into the current development process is difficult, leading to incomplete tooling or unorthodox stoppages due to the required manual security assessments. Development teams are working with a backlog of stories, stories that are typically focused on features and functionality instead of security. Traditionally, security was viewed as a prevention of progress, but there are ways to incorporate security activities without hindering development. There are many types of security activities you can bake into your current development lifecycles—tooling, assessments, stories, scrums, iterative reviews, repo and bug tracking integrations—every organization has a unique solution and there are positives and negatives to each of them. David will talk through the various solutions using his experiences to help build security into the development process.
