Rising Flaws, and Slow to Fix: Whats at Stake for Software Security?

Published: Feb. 9, 2021, 9:43 p.m.

The majority of applications contain at least one security flaw and fixing those flaws typically takes months. Automating scanning and scanning via API can help development teams fix faster by a pretty wide margin. Veracode\u2019s Chris Eng and Cyentia\u2019s Jay Jacobs explore what\u2019s driving the volume of code flaws, what factors influence fix rates, how organizations with higher fix rates are tackling the problem successfully, and automation as a best practice for DevSecOps and an action developers can take to "nurture" their apps to better security.\n\nPresenters:\nChris Eng, Chief Research Officer, Veracode\nJay Jacobs, Co-Founder and Chief Data Scientist, Cyentia Institute\nKacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference
