Grab your seat nowNo Size Fits All: Customized Application Security Tests
One-day workshop by Avi Douglen
Thursday June 5th, 09:00 - 17:30
The interesting, important, and hard to find bugs are not generic. They often stem from unique business logic, so they require familiarity with the product.
Instead of getting frustrated with generic scans that barely find obvious problems and flood you with false positives, you can run custom checks that find what you care about. In this course, you'll learn how to take your internal knowledge and write custom, tailored scans that will work for you, across the whole codebase.
You’ll leave the course with clear understanding how to customize automated security tests for your code efficiently.
Learning goal: Learn how to find subtle, non-generic bugs in your code, make the most of open-source scanners, and set up smart security guardrails—all with practical techniques that fit into real-world development workflows.
