The Strengths of Combining Code Review with Application Penetration Testing



Registration | Hotel | Walter E. Washington Convention Center

The presentation
The strengths of manual code review in findings vulns (using the Top 10 as the categories)


 * The strengths of manual pen testing in findings vulns (against Top 10)
 * How each technique can leverage the other.
 * How proving vulns can be important, but not really in a mature org
 * The massive benefit of finding where the vulns are in the CODE, not just finding the flaws in the application
 * How tracking down a penetration testing finding to where the flaw is in the actual code can be EXTREMELY hard
 * Potentially some discussion on the role of automated analysis tools (both code and external scanning) and their strengths
 * An how automated analysis tools can support a more efficient application security assessment process, when combined with manual analysis
