Web app security mythbusters

There are many misconceptions and myths about application security, and Cenzic is looking to debunk them in its new mythbuster podcast series.

In its first podcast, Cenzic, a provider of Web application security solutions, talks with Jason Lam, a SANS instructor, about topics such as the ability of network tools to address application security, when security testing should be done and who should do it, and how far PCI compliance goes toward security apps.

Those who have been doing application security will be familiar with the topics. The first podcast, in particular, does not reveal anything new. But still there are many who don’t know what needs to be done to ensure an application’s security — or who don’t understand the importance of those practices — and these podcasts are for them.
