Smarter Testing = Safer Digital Experiences

Application testing is a critical component of a software development lifecycle. A complete testing battery for any application includes not only functionality and usability testing but security and reliability testing as well. However, helping ensure that security testing in particular produces results that focus on actionable items – with accurate relative priorities – has been a persistent challenge. Are actionable items from testing actually going to move the needle in terms of product quality and resilience – especially in how they manage evolving threats? While the “OWASP Top 10” and “CWE/SANS Top 25” are still important, they represent merely a reasonable beginning to a security testing strategy. How do you go beyond those lists and become truly more “adversary-aware” in testing?  In addition, how do you make sure that these testing efforts genuinely help your development teams “shift left” in their thinking and implementation of better security controls in your applications? These are challenges Adobe set out to solve by not just making our testing efforts more extensive or frequent – but smarter, and with as tight of alignment as possible to the software development lifecycle and even closer in modeling real-world adversary threats.

We invite you to join Shannon Lietz, VP, Adobe Security, as she speaks with ISACA's IT Audit Professional Practices Principal, Robin Lyons for a discussion of these issues and others that we must address as an industry to make us genuinely more “DevSecOps”-minded in our approach to application security testing. Robin and Shannon will discuss Adobe’s overall strategy around our application testing efforts and how smarter testing is fundamental to achieving a true “shift left” approach around application security. They will also talk about how this effort is really going to help us deliver the safer digital experiences users are demanding.

Cyber Decisions Only Executives Can Make

One of ISACA’s most popular Journal columnists joins us to discuss his most recent release, “Cyber Decisions Only Executives Can Make.” Steven Ross chats with ISACA’s Safia Kazi about cyber recovery plans that organizations have in place and that only when an attack disrupts normal business operations do those organizations realize they should have prepared and planned for operation continuity without the system and data they rely on. As Executive Principal for Risk Master International and fifty plus years of industry experience, Steven shares his insights into cyber recovery plans, categorizing cyberattacks, paying ransom to cyber criminals, and offers his advice on what organizations should do if they find themselves in the middle of a critical cyber decision.

Where Privacy Meets Security

Jo Stewart-Rattray, the Director of Technology & Security Assurance for BRM Advisory, believes privacy is a team sport. Every organization needs to be responsible for asking, “what data is being collected,” “where is the information held,” “what purpose is the information being collected for,” and “how is the information being protected.”

Jo chats with ISACA's Safia Kazi about why it is essential that security and privacy teams collaborate when it comes to collecting data. She expands on why the central role of a CISO needs to be educating and communicating this team approach to organizations. Jo says that the issue of data privacy will only continue to grow as the digital economy grows and why privacy and security professionals play a critical role in ensuring that enterprises adhere to privacy laws and regulations that protect their customers’ personal data.
