Veracode and Computershare Webinar to Discuss "What's Going Right with Your Secure Development Efforts?"

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Veracode, Inc., the leader in cloud-based application security testing, today announced details of an upcoming webinar, “What's Going Right with Your Secure Development Efforts?” In this session examining the dynamics between security professionals and developers in their mutual commitment to delivering more secure software, Computershare CISO Donna Durkin will lead a candid conversation about what works and doesn't when talking to development about security.

Who:		Donna Durkin, CISO, Computershare
		Tim Jarrett, director of product management, Veracode
What:		Building a bridge between security and development is especially challenging in that efforts to bring them together often spark debate and push them further apart. This is easy to understand when most developers consider the number one job of a security professional is placing code under a microscope and highlighting each and every flaw. This belief is supported by the fact that most of the solutions leveraged by security professionals to test developer code only offer assessments of what was done wrong, which can create tension between the two.
		Join Veracode and Computershare as they discuss what works, and what doesn't, when talking to development teams about security. In this webinar, presenters will:
		-- Share common pitfalls security professionals fall into when speaking to developers about secure coding.
		-- Discuss how a new way of reporting on security best practices is helping give developers and security professionals the green light to drive more positive conversations about secure code.
When:		Thursday, March 29, 2012 from 12 noon – 1:00 p.m. EDT
