Thinking INSIDE the Box:
Fast and Accurate AppSec with IAST and RASP

By Jeff Williams, Co-founder & CTO, Contrast Security

Thursday, September 16th
Register for this talk here!

Software is incredibly hard to secure because it’s a black box. We’ve spent decades struggling to verify software from the outside by analyzing the source code, scanning, fuzzing, pentesting, etc… But we can get INSIDE the box and directly measure the security of software while it’s running (in development, test, and even production).

In this talk, you’ll learn about Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and also Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP). You’ll learn how to use the free and open source Java Observability Toolkit (JOT) project to easily create your own powerful security instrumentation without coding. We’ll analyze security defenses, identify complex vulnerabilities, create custom sandboxes, and enforce policy at runtime. Ultimately, IAST and RASP enable Dev, Sec, and Ops teams to work together in harmony, so your teams can focus on delivering value at high velocity.
