Cenzic and Software Test & Performance Host Educational Webinar on Latest Trends in Security Risk Assessment

Cenzic, Inc. has joined forces with Software Test & Performance to present "Best Practices for Zero Impact Security Testing," an online event aimed at instructing attendees on how to integrate security testing into their software development process within a given time frame. Ambarish Malpani, vice president of engineering and CTO for Cenzic, will discuss the latest trends in security risk testing and assessment with Lindsey Vereen, editor-in-chief of Software Test and Performance. The live webcast will take place Thursday, July 27th at 1:00 p.m. ET. Individuals interested in attending can sign up at http://www.cenzic.com/news_events/web_events.php

In response to the daily emergence of new vulnerabilities in web applications, Malpani will examine how to incorporate "Zero Impact Security Testing" best practices into the software development lifecycle via cost-effective outsourced services. He will address techniques that allow managers and senior staff to integrate security testing into their software without pushing back deadlines, alleviating the need to hire more testers and developers, modify requirements or sacrifice product quality to meet new security objectives.

Malpani has extensive knowledge in the area of computer security. As the founder of ValiCert, Inc. he was responsible for product development, architecture and standards efforts and was accountable for doing the first port of the Apache web server to Windows NT. He has worked extensively at IETF and is responsible for both the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Simple Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP).

"Keeping informed about security best practices is crucial in staying abreast of not only technical issues but also those that might have a big-picture impact in terms of balancing staffing, budgetary and time constraints," said Vereen. "With so much riding on web-based communication and data exchange, it is more important than ever to bake security into the development lifecycle and to help development teams effectively manage complex projects within the context of an ever-evolving security threat landscape."

A veteran of the test and measurement industry, Vereen has been the editor of several technology publications, including Embedded Systems Programming, Integrated System Design, and Electronics Test.
