NORTHPORT, N.Y. – January 3, 2017 – Code Dx, Inc., a provider of an award-winning suite of fast and affordable tools that help software developers, testers and security analysts find, prioritize and manage software vulnerabilities, and Security Journey, an application security education startup, today announced a free webinar being offered January 10, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. PST/2:00 p.m. EST. This webinar, titled “Teaching Your Team How to Test for Software Security”, is targeted to software developers and quality assurance professionals.

“Cyber-attacks on company websites and networks have increased significantly in recent years and are extremely costly and embarrassing for the organization under attack,” said Brianne O’Brien, project manager for Code Dx.  “A high percentage of these breaches are a result of weaknesses in software applications. Therefore, it is critical that security is considered at every step in the software development lifecycle.”

“Security is traditionally thought of as something that belongs to the security department,” explained Chris Romeo, CEO of Security Journey. “We must step outside of this idea, and move our organizations to a place where everyone thinks like a security person. Developers, testers, managers, and even executives are all part of the security solution, each with their own dynamic part to play.”

Attendees of this webinar will learn about the four tenets of application security testing, as well as easy and affordable ways for developers and QA professionals to quickly learn and conduct application security testing within their organization. To register for this webinar, please click here.
