Just as most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly include third party software functionality via calls to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation.
 
Join us for a discussion about web services and how they can affect M&A and other transactions. We’ll cover:
 
• The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services
• Typical terms of service and common pitfalls
• Real-world examples of these risks
• How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or how a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks

DevSecOps in the Wild: Examining Global Security Factors in 2024

Legislation requiring stringent software security practices by software producers is being passed around the globe. This requires organizations to rethink their approach to software security, which industry standards they follow, and the best practices for their software development teams.

NIST has produced guidance known as the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). The SSDF is a series of practices and associated tasks that serve as a baseline for teams seeking to securely develop software in a standardized way. Attestation to conformance with a subset of the SSDF has been signaled by the U.S.

In this webinar, you will learn the best practices for performing an SSDF readiness assessment including:

• Whether your organization’s software development practices align with the SSDF
• How to determine which controls are lacking for conformance with guidelines
• How to perform associated corrective recommendations on time
• Case studies of successful U.S. government attestations

DevSecOps and cloud services are driving container adoption in software. As container architectures get complex, they're increasingly exploited. This talk aims to clarify containerization and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for beginners. We'll cover container technologies, key terms, their value, popularity, challenges, and security issues. We'll discuss common threats, vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and provide real-world attack examples. We'll reference standards and resources like OWASP Docker Top 10, Container Security Verification Standard, NIST Application Container Security guide, and CIS Benchmarks. Finally, we'll provide guidelines and best practices for securing containers.

Finding Your Way in Container Security

As the popularity of cloud-native applications continues to surge, containers are becoming the preferred option to package and deploy these applications because of the agility and scalability they deliver. According to Gartner, “by 2022, more than 90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2026 or 2027,up from less than 40% in 2021.”

The popularity of containers has also attracted the attention of hackers who are constantly looking for new ways to exploit them. Containers expand an organization’s attack surface and increase the risk to the applications they house. A comprehensive approach for container security is required to mitigate the risk to containerized applications and infrastructure.

In this webinar, we’ll outline the essential elements required to secure your container environments, including:
• Understanding what containers are (and aren’t)
• How to look at container security holistically
• The top threats to container landscapes
• Relevant case studies

Container Security Essentials

Securing software takes teamwork—a unified approach from development through testing and into production.
