Title: Web App Testing Stats Compared to The OWASP Top 10

Description:

For over seven years, Cigital has performed high volumes of application security assessments through the Cigital Assessment Center (CAC). Over that time the CAC has accumulated a large amount of data that provides helpful insights into software security practices. We’ll present the most common web application security vulnerabilities identified over one year by the CAC, contrasting our findings with one of the industry’s leading benchmarks, the OWASP Top 10.

Bio:

Joel Scambray is a Principal at Cigital, a leading software security consulting firm established in 1992. He has helped Fortune 500-class organizations address information security challenges for over twenty years as a consultant, author and speaker, business leader, and entrepreneur. He is widely recognized as co-author of the Hacking Exposed book series, and has worked/consulted for companies including Microsoft, Foundstone, Amazon, Costco, Softcard, and Ernst & Young.


OWASP Houston October Chapter Meeting
Monday October 17, 2016 at 6:30PM

Title: Is Your Vulnerability Management Program Evolving? Introducing the Vulnerability Management Maturity Model – VM3

Speaker Name: Gordon MacKay

Presentation Abstract:

Vulnerability management (VM) solutions and products that are central to every information security program contain a serious “hidden” flaw. This software flaw is interleaved within pattern matching-like algorithms located deep within the foundational core of the most widely used automated VM solutions on the market. As a direct consequence of this flaw, even though these products report a certain level of network security risk, the metric upon which their calculations are based is skewed, resulting in an unintentional gap between the products’ intended information risk measurement and the erroneous measurement actually reported. This session covers the technical details of the referred to hidden flaw, its consequences and what you can do to limit your exposure.

Speaker Bio

Gordon MacKay, CISSP, serves as CTO for Digital Defense, Inc. He applies mathematical modeling and engineering principles in investigating solutions to many of the challenges within the information security space. His solution to matching network discovered hosts within independent vulnerability assessments across time resulted in achieving patent-pending status for the company’s scanning technology. MacKay has presented at numerous security related conferences, including Bsides Austin 2016, BSides San Antonio 2016, BSides Dallas 2015, RSA 2013, ISC2 San Antonio, ISSA Houston, ISACA San Antonio, and has been featured by top media outlets such as CIO Review, FOX Business, Fox News, Softpedia, IT World Canada and others. He holds a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from McGill University. He is a Distinguished Ponemon Institute Fellow.
