Episode 35 – Securing Web Applications: Surveying the Threat Landscape
Amrit Williams, BigFix CTO begins a three-part discussion with Jeremiah Grossman, CTO of White Hat Security on web application security. In the first part, Amrit and Jeremiah review the nature, severity, and spread of threats to the security and integrity of web applications. Web applications differ from commercial applications and system software as the majority of them are developed in-house. Not only are there no external resources to provide patches, updates and vulnerability fixes, web applications may not be fully documented or designed for easy updating.
