Software Quality Management strategies have been focusing on lifecycle approaches to reliability and performance improvements to limit business risk in production operations.

Topics to discuss will include:

• Application security exposures
• Application security testing in the QM lifecycle
• The role of security monitoring policies, policy enforcement and emergency response procedures...
• How to secure confidential data at the Web application layer

This Webinar will:

• Explain how modern IT security software can protect your IT assets from both known and unknown threats.
• Detail some of the latest Web threats and how your organisation can protect itself from them.
• Update IT managers and professionals on the best options to protect their IT systems against the latest multi-vectored attacks.
