DESCRIPTION: “Assessing Risk at the Software Level”

A critical piece of securing any organization’s infrastructure is the ability to assess the risk of the software running within that organization. In fact, more than 70 percent of security attacks are now happening at the software level. Whether those applications are developed in-house, offshore, directly purchased, or inherited through an M&A transaction, enterprises are clearly at risk. If this risk is not managed properly, organizations face the consequences of a data breach that could cost them customers, drive down their stock price and/or devastate their brand. In this presentation, Chris Eng will examine approaches to third-party software validation and how it can help organizations ensure the quality of software and applications they implement. Attendees will leave armed with strategies to diminish operational risk and maintaincorporate value.
