Application Security in the Real World
Joey Peloquin (HP)

This talk, given by a former “IT Security Guy” with a major US retailer, tells the story of the state of application security today, and how the things you’re dealing with every day in your enterprises rarely syncs up with what vendors are trying to sell you. Regulations will also be discussed, though most of the time will be spent on the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), which affects application security far more than any other.

Next, you’ll learn about the “security guy’s” attempt at creating an application security program for his enterprise. How it started, how it began to blossom, and how it crashed and burned without executive sponsorship and other support from management. Then you’ll hear how this was somewhat overcome – a framework was created, goals were set, policies written, and relationships forged. Now the enterprise has a version of an application security program, but it’s far from perfect. Learn from his (and his former employer’s) mistakes and succeed with your program!

Finally, the paper will offer practical suggestions on implementing an enterprise application security program. This will primarily be demonstrated through the three P’s – policy, process, and people (and technology). Each of these essential elements will be covered in depth, and at the conclusion, the author sincerely believes you’ll walk away with a high level view of the knowledge you need to succeed. You’ll also know you’re not alone, and help is out there!
