Building the AppSec Engine, Part 2 - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

In today’s increasingly digital world, companies of all sizes and in all industries are creating applications faster than ever to remain relevant and keep up with customer demands. But as companies race to release new software, are they taking the time to properly secure their applications? Our recent State of Software Security report found that 76 percent of applications have at least one flaw on initial scan. If security flaws and vulnerabilities are not remediated, cybercriminals can gain entry into an organization’s systems and steal confidential data. That’s why it’s so important to have a comprehensive application security (AppSec) program in place. Creating an AppSec program isn’t as challenging as you might think – especially with Veracode by your side. In fact, forming and maturing an AppSec program is a lot like building and maintaining a car engine. You have to put in a little elbow grease in the beginning, but it’s a smooth ride after that. In the second part of this series, we will concentrate on how to build an AppSec program and start scanning your applications on day one.
