Applications are the most frequent external attack vector for companies. However, application security can improve only if developers either code securely or remediate existing security flaws — unfortunately, many don't receive training with proper security know-how. In this session, we will talk about the state of application security education and what you can do to secure what you sell. Segment...

0-day vulnerabilities pose a high risk because cybercriminals race to exploit them and vulnerable systems are exposed until a patch is issued & installed. These types of software vulnerabilities can be found through continuous detection but even then may not always have a patch available. It's important for software teams to set up tools that continually look for these types of flaws, as well as d...
