Developers make software updates to add new features, enhance their structures, or fix bugs. These frequent changes occasionally impact the security of the software, for instance, by breaking authentication and authorization mechanisms and introducing new vulnerabilities. Some challenges that practitioners face include the complexity and size of software, diversity of the security issues, and lack of effectiveness of the security assurance tools in detecting vulnerabilities.
The goal of this webinar is to discuss such challenges and potential solutions that reduce the security risks while updating software.
