Application Security - Your Success Depends on it
Traditional information security mainly revolves around network and operating system (OS) level protection. Regardless of the level of security guarding those aspects, the system can be penetrated and the entire deployment can be brought down if your application's security isn't taken into serious consideration. Information security should ideally start at the application level, before network and OS level security is ensured. To achieve this, security needs to be integrated into the application at the software development phase.
In this session, Dulanja will discuss the following:
- The importance of application security - why network and OS security is insufficient.
- Challenges in securing your application.
- Making security part of the development lifecycle.
