| December 11, 2008 | | Podcast on Application Security MythBusters features Bob West, Founder and CEO of Echelon One | Cenzic is proud to interview Bob West, Founder and CEO of Echelon One, as part of our Application Security MythBusters series. This is the last of the 6 pod cast interviews conducted on the show floor at the 2008 BlackHat Conference in Las Vegas, NV.
Mr. West said that the state of application security is far less than ideal due to two main reasons. The first stems from the lack of understanding at the executive level about application security. The second is the inability people have to code securely. Companies need to train their developers and QA employees on how to build secure code in order to ensure their Web apps aren’t as vulnerable to hacker attacks.
Bob summarizes his feelings about Web application security in these words: Draw a line in the sand and do the bare minimum - take an inventory of all your Web applications. Then prioritize this list to focus on the security health of your most mission critical apps first.
So take 8 minutes of your day to listen to the podcast to hear more of his insights.
