Application Security is an integral piece of the security plan that sometimes becomes difficult to follow through with. Before you buy enterprise tools, consider using open source or free tools to get started. This session will discuss/demo 5 open source tools that you can use to improve the security of the applications that your organization develops immediately. Starting with the application's brainstorming phase and ending with its deployment, 5 open-source tools are discussed and demoed on how you can begin to use them to improve application security and reduce vulnerabilities. A facilitated Q&A is also provided to develop a better understanding of the tools and their implementation. Key questions like what is needed from an infrastructure perspective and what skills are needed to implement and maintain them will be discussed. Open source tools are not meant to replace their more mature(sometimes) licensed versions; however, they are an excellent starting point to understand better what you are trying to accomplish with them and better understand what you actually need before you actually provide an expensive enterprise toolset.
