Two Birds, One Stone: Shrinking Security Debt and Attack Surfaces

Two Birds, One Stone: Shrinking Security Debt and Attack Surfaces

Jul 21, 2023

Cybersecurity teams and developers continually struggle to reconcile what can seem like two competing priorities. Delivering new capabilities and addressing existing security technical debt. But what if they can do both at the same time? Forward-leaning AppSec programs are finding smart ways to reduce security debt by instituting a strategic approach to managing security vulnerabilities. This approach starts by reducing the attack surface early on and throughout development.

In this webinar, you will learn the following:

  • How to automate dependency management so that it runs on autopilot
  • Why you should assign a confidence level to updates
  • How to mass-update group dependencies given a high confidence rating
  • How to prioritize vulnerability remediation and update within the repo.
