Veracode, Inc., the leader in cloud-based application security testing, today announced details of the upcoming webinar “Crafting Super-Powered Risk Assessments,” co-hosted by Chris Wysopal, co-founder, CTO and CISO of Veracode, and Gordon MacKay, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Digital Defense, Inc. Attendees will learn how enterprises can better understand and reduce security risks when assessing the state of network and application security.

Who: Gordon MacKay, EVP and CTO, Digital Defense, Inc.
Chris Wysopal, co-founder, CISO and CTO, Veracode

What: Traditional risk assessment techniques alone are often siloed and not effective enough to secure the enterprise. Network and application assessments respectively contribute to the overall security architecture of an organization, but by combining the two crucial tasks, enterprises can benefit exponentially—gaining increased visibility and responding more rapidly to vulnerabilities.

Join Gordon MacKay and Chris Wysopal as they discuss the benefits and challenges of network and application risk assessment methods. They will discuss how to combine these two methods for a super-charged risk assessment program.

Additional discussion topics include:

• The impact of third party applications on the software supply chain.
• The actions an enterprise should take when web applications and web infrastructure are found to be outdated, and the unnecessary security risk they bring to the enterprise.
• How to determine which applications within your company’s software inventory should be tested.

When: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. ET
