Web applications account for almost 40 percent of vulnerability disclosures; this makes them a popular vector for attack. Scanning in-house and third party applications throughout the development process can uncover critical vulnerabilities, but it takes time to address flaws that are found. Paul Kaspian, Market Segment Manager, Network Security, and Karl Snider, Market Segment Manager, Application Security, discuss the merits of adopting a multi-layered defense strategy for web applications, combining application security testing with real-time protection.

The modern heterogeneous IT environment has an increasing number of endpoints -- each with unique security requirements -- due to the widespread adoption of mobile, virtual and cloud technologies. All of these endpoints provide tangible business value and act as gateways to a vault of business information; therefore, they must be secured. This podcast discusses the importance of security intelligence at the endpoint and how an integrated approach to endpoint security helps reduce business operation costs. Nick Harlow and Tom Cross, speakers.
