Abstract:
The path to a secure software development environment may seem intimidating to some organizations. The good news is that you only need to start small, keep things simple, and prove value before you mature your program over time. Veracode will outline a series of steps you can take when bringing security experts and development teams together to achieve this goal over time.
Based on first-hand customer interactions, you will come away with tips on how to build security assessments into the development process – making the path to maturity less daunting.
