Web Application Security Interview on Security Weekly – Importance of Automated Web Application Security

A few weeks back Security Weekly interviewed Ferruh Mavituna, Netsparker’s CEO and Product Architect. Security Weekly is a popular podcast that provides free content within the subject matter of IT security news, vulnerabilities, hacking, and research and frequently interviews industry leaders such as John Mcafee, Jack Daniel and Bruce Schneier.

During the 30 minutes interview, Security Weekly’s host Paul Asadoorian and Ferruh Mavituna highlight how important it is to use an automated web application security scanner to find vulnerabilities in websites and web applications. They also briefly discuss web application firewalls and their effectiveness, and how Netsparker is helping organizations improve their post scan process of fixing vulnerabilities with their online web application security scanner Netsparker Cloud.

Paul and Ferruh covered several other aspects of web application security during this interview, so if you are a seasoned security professional, a developer or a newbie it is a recommended watch.
