According to *Verizon, web applications were involved in 43% of breaches in 2020. **IBM also reported that 52% of breaches were caused by malicious attacks against applications last year.

These highlight the importance for modern technology companies building web and mobile cloud-hosted apps to have a comprehensive information security program that covers application and cloud security as well as corporate governance and risk management.

Join Farshad Abasi (CSO, Forward Security), Michael Castro (Founder RiskAware), Kris Read (Co-founder/CTO, Neo Financial) for an interactive fireside chat where they share their experience building and supporting security programs that help organizations gain client trust, protect reputation, and increase market share by standing out from the crowd in today’s competitive marketplace that is increasingly under cyberattacks.
