2021-09-24 19:43

Chris Wysopal shared a history lesson about the evolution of application security and advice on how to make all apps more secure.

Wysopal, who is Veracode's CTO and co-founder shared a short history of his time as an application security researcher, from his time with The L0ft hacker collective to testifying in front of Congress to doing security consulting with Microsoft in the early 2000s.

He shared advice on how to build closer working relationships among developers and security experts as well as how the appsec profession has evolved over the years.

His team considers both the nature and the nurture of each application when working to improve security.

Static and infrequent scanning make it harder to improve application security.

Wysopal also shared some advice about how changing security practices can improve appsec, regardless of whether an application is easy or difficult to secure.
