Application Security

Security should not be an afterthought to the development process. Yet, many organizations see developers and security engineers as separate disciplines. We like to differ.

DevSecOps Benelux is an alliance of experts, consultants and tooling vendors with a focus on knowledge sharing and promotion of application security.

The Application Security Landscape

Application Security starts where the protection of the application delivery infrastructure ends. Firewalls, access policies and network security cannot protect against attacks on vulnerabilities in the application logic, the cloud architecture or the user's endpoint.

SAST, DAST and IAST

Analysis of Application Code.

RASP

Real-time protection against zero day vulnerabilities through virtual patches.

SCA

Software Component Analysis highlights problems in 3rd party libraries.

Security Awareness

Developers learn about security with rich context and actionable advice.

Cloud Security Orchestration

Integrity and safety of containers.

Datacenter Security

Protection against memory dumps or unsanctioned access from within.

Mobile Endpoint Security

Protection against flaws in the user's browser or device.

Secure Software Development

To make it stick, security must be implemented in the development lifecycle.

Our Mission

The goal of DevSecOps is to integrate security into the development lifecycle and better integrate the development and security responsibilities within an organization

Our mission is to bring professionals and experts together to exchange knowledge, share best practices and learn about tools and processes that support the transition to an integrated development and security operation.

We do this by organizing meetups and webinars with speakers from the industry sharing experience in the field. And by organizing hands-on workshops with products and services of industry leaders.

Open Source Vulnerabilities in Software Development - Am I really exposed?

October 15th 15:00 CET

Vulnerabilities in Open Source libraries are found and published. Many tools are available to scan your project for the libraries in your build, their exact version and whether these have a known vulnerability. But that doesn't mean that your application is vulnerable. Found out what the latest insights are in OSA exposure assessment.

Panel Discussion - Automation: Hype or Fate?

August 6th 15:30 CET

One of the goals of DevSecOps is to build security testing into the development process. There are many tools and best practices to achieve this across the development life cycle. What are the limitations of automation and what is the influence of the human factor? Is further automation our fate as tools become smarter? Or do we need to focus on human processes to keep the hype in check?
