Assuring Application Security: Deploying Code that Keeps Data Safe

“There’s an app for that” has become the mantra of users, developers and IT alike.  The explosion of applications – homegrown, developed with outside teams, open-source and commercial off-the-shelf is clear – just look at the icons populating phones, tablets and computers everywhere.

With all that code comes new risks – unprotected web applications that communicate with mobile apps, unencrypted login information flying around Wi-fi hotspots, and consumer applications and games that try to gain access to corporate contact lists, data and settings.

What should Developers, DevOps and IT be doing NOW to ensure that the applications they run don’t put their enterprise at risk?

This SlashGuide will discuss the evolution of malware attack surface from endpoint to server to app, what to look for when sourcing or developing code, and what tests you should be performing now to keep enterprise data safe and malicious code out of your shop.
