Goals
 Why is AppSec important?
 How is DevOps changing application development?
 How is AppSec traditionally done?
 What needs to change?
– What to build
– What to measure
– How to help

Applications Are as Risky as Ever
of all applications used some kind of hard-coded password
of all applications use broken or risky cryptographic algorithms
of all applications were vulnerable to open redirect attacks
of all applications mix trusted and untrusted data in the same
data structure or message

Lack of App Security is Damaging Companies

High Profile Breaches Through the App Layer
How: Vulnerability on
website built and
maintained by third-party
vendor in support of a
charity.
Result: Usernames and
passwords for 76 million
households and 7 million
business were stolen.
Financial
Institution
How: Hackers exploited a
known vulnerability in an
open source component
Result: Social Security
Numbers and personal data
for more than 143 million
Americans stolen. Three
executives lose their jobs.
Financial
Institution
How: Targeted a flaw in
OpenSSL, CVE-2014-0160,
better known as Heartbleed
Result: The theft of Social
Security Numbers and other
personal data belonging to
4.5 million patients
Healthcare
Provider
How: Sophisticated kill
chain including exploitation
of vulnerable web
application
Result: Hackers stole
names, mailing addresses,
phone numbers and email
addresses for more than 70
million shoppers

Strategy
 Relationship & Accountability
 Integration & Automation
 Training & Remediation
Coaching
 Security Champions

Strategy - Relationships
 Who is your peer in
development/security?
