The conversations come at a time when Black Hat staff have stated that the 2014 conference will have a strong focus on application security. In a recent blog post, Black Hat staff proclaimed that 'If Black Hat had a middle name ... it could well be Application Security'. The strong focus on application security during the 2014 Black Hat USA conference is a reflection of the fact that applications are now the driver of economic growth, and all enterprises are becoming digital businesses. A recent study by IDC found that the average enterprise produces 2,500 new applications a year. With this application economy revolution comes the need for an increased focus on application security. Veracode's activities at the conference include: Facilitated discussion with Co-Founder and CTO, Chris Wysopal during the Executive Summit where executives from Global 2000 corporations and Federal agencies are invited to attend a full day of high-level discussions about topics unique to Black Hat. Chris will lead a discussion about the advantages of integrating manual and automated testing in the software development lifecycle.
