The most common approach to securing a web application involves doing a single security test, usually a Web Application Security Assessment, when a development project is completed. While this is still a requirement, this paper discusses why security needs to be incorporated earlier and throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). 

This paper explains how there is no one process to make any organization 100% secure, but establishing a company-wide security policy based on industry-standard best practices is a good place to start. Many of these best practices can be implemented as part of the operating system assessment and lock down process. 

Building security into the software development lifecycle takes more than just a plan. You need the support of both the development and security/audit organizations to make it work. This podcast, featuring Diana Kelley, presents a plan for selling the value of security to all of the constituencies who matter in your organization. 

This whitepaper examines the business implications of the SaaS movement, the escalating performance and security expectations, and how a growing number of companies are safeguarding and accelerating these ondemand applications with proxy-based wide-area network (WAN) application delivery solutions. 

Fixing software security vulnerabilities during development is expensive, difficult and time-consuming. But fixing them after deployment is far more expensive and counterproductive. In this video featuring security expert Diana Kelley, learn state-of-the-art techniques for building a secure software development process. 

According to industry statistics, the majority of a typical company's data doesn't reside on data center storage -- it lives on the "edge." The edge may be desktop PCs, laptops or even smart phones and PDAs. In this videocast W. Curtis Preston describes the most effective techniques, tools and best practices for protecting edge or mobile data. 

In the past, many security pros relied on one technology to protect their computers and networks. Today, most organizations use several technologies to protect their organization. In this Presentation Transcript, learn how application whitelisting enhances current defenses and covers situations not addressed by firewalls and antivirus utilities. 

Enterprises, particularly those that deal with personal or private data, are now squarely in the path of a perfect storm. The convergence of regulatory compliance, high-profile data breaches and increased sophistication of cyber-attackers has transformed data security from an interesting IT sideline to a bottom-line, corner-office priority. 

This whitepaper will examine the trends and challenges associated with web-based services and MSPs, and will identify the best way to optimize network and application performance and security. We will look at today's best practices and examine how Blue Coat Systems is addressing requirements with an integrated solution. 

The productivity, user experience and collaboration benefits of Web 2.0 are enormous but so is the potential for damage to the network. However, among the risks there are success stories. In this webcast review the pitfalls of Web 2.0, the best ways to mitigate security risks, and how to regain control over application management.
