Recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) survey data from Jon Oltsik, Distinguished Analyst and Fellow, indicates that for 87% of respondents, ensuring secure and available applications is a top priority. 

Though the importance of app security is paramount, ESG also noted the following persistent roadblocks:
• Maintaining security consistency across data center and public clouds where cloud-native apps are deployed
• Use of multiple cybersecurity controls that increase costs
• And lack of visibility into public cloud infrastructure where apps are hosted.

Jon Oltsik showcases 9 advantages of continuous penetration testing to enhance your company’s app security, as well as 5 ways to improve pentesting itself, in this custom ESG webinar. 

Join the discussion to view Oltsik’s vendor-neutral analysis of the state of app security, glean ESG’s latest survey data, and overcome your own app security challenges.

The Impact of Preemptive Security

Only 10% of IoT vendors disclose timelines for acknowledging and resolving reported threats—and a staggering 73% of consumer IoT companies are in breach of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, with no vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP) at all.

David Rogers, MBE, chair of the Fraud and Security Group at the GSMA, and Laurie Mercer, Director of Solutions Engineering at HackerOne, discuss the state of vulnerability disclosure in global consumer IoT, and strategies you can adopt to implement a transparent, productive, and compliant VDP at your organization.

Key Takeaways:

-Learn which companies pass the disclosure threshold test (and which ones fail)
-Get policy recommendations for incentivizing security researchers
-Discover how IoT leaders like Samsung, Apple, and Panasonic structure their VDPs

The Critical Need for Vulnerability Disclosure in the IoT Security Landscape

Achieving actual attack resistance is hard. Security teams are stretched thin, attack surfaces are expanding, and digital threats are increasingly difficult to detect. Automated security can find vulnerabilities in unknown assets. However, visibility alone doesn’t drive meaningful remediation. Findings from automation often lack context and force security teams to spend time combing through false positives to find the few critical vulnerabilities that require fixing. In this session, Chris Evans, CISO and Chief Hacking Officer, and Alex Rice, CTO, will discuss his security strategy for combining the power of automated scanning with the security expertise of ethical hackers to drive down risk and achieve Attack Resistance Management for HackerOne.

How Human Experts Give you a Security Advantage

Ask a Hacker in 2023

52% of security-conscious enterprises in a recent HackerOne survey don’t know how much of their attack surface is secured, and not one respondent was confident their organization was fully in control of its attack surface.

Any veteran security leader can confirm that organizations rarely know the full extent of their IT infrastructure, but the use of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, adoption of microservice architectures, and inherited assets from mergers and acquisitions make the shortfall more extensive than IT teams could have imagined in the past.

In this webinar, cybersecurity veterans Michiel Prins, co-founder and head of professional services at HackerOne, and Naz Bozdemir, senior product marketing manager at HackerOne, demystify how organizations can gain control over their full attack surface and minimize exploitable risks.

This discussion will cover:
-The consequences of an expanding attack surface and incomplete visibility into it
-The role of Attack Surface Management (ASM) in modern security programs
-Important considerations when selecting an ASM partner
-The impact of combining automation with human security expertise

Outsmart Cybercriminals with Proactive Attack Surface Management

What’s your definition of a zero day? Exactly what a zero day is, and how one should be tackled when it comes to bug bounty, has been a contentious issue for years. Drawing on his experience at Project Zero and as a longstanding member of the hacking community, Chris will explore the evolution of zero days, from Stuxnet to Log4j. He will explain why zero days are not usually rewarded in bug bounty programs and why Log4j was unique in this regard, drawing on hacker and customer data and stories from the incident. Chris will share his philosophy on a ‘pay for value’ approach to zero days and how progressive CISOs can work alongside the hacking community to reduce the risk from zero-days, in whichever definition applies.

Why Isn’t Anyone Paying Bounties for Zero Days?

HackerOne has enhanced data visualization and analysis capabilities. For many bug bounty programs, the functionality available through the dashboards is sufficient. Some programs however want to utilize their bug bounty program data as input to external tools such as custom workflows, report delivery, and Machine Learning. This talk demonstrates step-by-step how the robust HackerOne API can be utilized to securely access your program's data to power these and many other external applications.

All Your Data Belongs to You

Traditionally pentesting has been slow and shallow, making it difficult for modern security organizations to keep pace with innovation and compliance demands. This, coupled with the frequency of security incidents, is making enterprise security teams realize the increasing need for on-demand access to high-quality pentesting resources—and traditional consulting firms are unable to deliver due to limited FTE teams, slow launch times, delayed results, and manual reporting efforts. In this session we will cover the advantages the HackerOne platform provides to customers conducting pentests, including an easy and fast way to scope and launch a pentest, real-time results so that your teams can remediate issues faster, and transparency and direct communication with pentesters during testing. We’ll also provide insights into the future of the HackerOne platform.
