Why Application Security is Ripe for Reinvention

 


Hey Everybody,

Software development has certainly changed since the days of the dot com craze.  Back then, it was all about Windows 2000, Oracle databases, etc.  But now, the talk is all about using either the AWS or Microsoft Azure in which to develop and host your web based application.  But in today’s world of software development, the concepts of automation, and the ability to reuse code over and over again is the norm.  One of these is the use of APIs.

These are libraries of source code which are designed to make the developers life easier.  For example, they can be downloaded, and modified to fit the needs of the web apps project.  But the problem here is that many of these APIs are open sourced, and have not been updated or even checked for any security issues.  The thinking of these API providers is that it should be up to the software development teams to do all of this, but unfortunately, many of them do not do this.

So how can one bridge this gap?  We will get the answer to this question in today’s podcast.  We have the honor and privilege of interviewing Giora Egel, the Co-Founder and CEO of Neosec.  You can download the podcast at this link:
