The move to the cloud brings a number of new security challenges, but the application remains your last line of defense. Developers are extremely well-poised to perform tasks critical for securing the application – provided that certain key obstacles are overcome.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Wayne Ariola, Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development at Parasoft, will explore three ways to help development bear the burden of security that the cloud places on them:
Use penetration testing results to help developers determine how to effectively “harden” the most vulnerable parts of the application.
Apply the emerging practice of “service virtualization” to provide developers the test environment access needed to exercise realistic security scenarios from the development environment.
Implement policy-driven development to help developers understand and satisfy management’s security expectations.
