 6:45 to 7:45 (1 hour): Taking a Hybrid Approach to Ensuring Your Web Application Code is Secure - Brian Christian, Co-founder and Application Security Engineer, S.P.I. Dynamics, Inc.

As Web application vulnerabilities skyrocketed over the past few years, developers are beginning to take security very seriously. A new class of products has emerged that enable developers to test the security of their Web applications during implementation called source code analyzers. But source code analysis tools prove to be only a partial solution because they are only able to infer, or guess, what the actual system behavior will be, and can only determine what security vulnerabilities might be possible in the application. To increase the fidelity of security testing results, developers should look to security testing products that feature a combination of analysis techniques of source code analysis and more practical approach called black box testing, also known as dynamic analysis.

This session discusses the difference between source code and black box testing and how the combination, or hybrid analysis, produces the accurate and reliable security information developers need to assess the security of their code.

7:45 to 8:00: Wrap up

Building Application Security into the SDLC - Adam Muntner

Adam will share his experiences about how organizations can integrate application security into all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle, from the creation of functional specifications all the way through deployment, maintenance, and updates. He will explain how to "bake security in" rather than "ice it on."
