DAST is Anything But Static: Best Practices for Reducing Risk with a Dynamic App Security Program

Protecting web applications has never been more important. The 2015 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report highlights that web application attacks remain the most frequent incident pattern in confirmed breaches and accounted for up to 35% of breaches in some industries. It's also estimated that nearly 50% of those incidents take months or longer to discover. With these concerning trends in mind, Rapid7 announced the acquisition of NT OBJECTives (NTO), the web and mobile application security testing company, last week. NTO's application security testing solution, now called Rapid7 AppSpider, analyzes web applications for security vulnerabilities and maximizes organizations' ability to effectively reduce IT security risk. Join Dan Kuykendall, Sr. Director of Web Application Security to hear about:
