Vulnerable Applications: Why Do They
Take So Long To Fix?

Presented by Dan Cornell and Jeremiah Grossman on June 11, 2009

Enterprise software applications can take an extraordinary amount of time to remediate. Why is this process so painful? Why can it take organizations longer than three months to fix Web applications that have the most serious vulnerabilities? What are the most common excuses that developers use to push out the remediation of vulnerabilities identified during a comprehensive assessment process?

Please join us for a conversation between two leading website risk management experts who will address this problem head-on. Jeremiah Grossman, Founder and CTO of WhiteHat Security, will provide background on this vexing problem and will share the results of WhiteHat's ongoing efforts to quantify the remediation time frames. He will also interview Dan Cornell, Principal at Denim Group, who works with clients to develop remediation strategies that drastically decrease the time that vulnerabilities exist in fielded applications. Dan will detail what works and doesn't work, how to counter common objections to fixing issues, and how best to implement a comprehensive application remediation strategy for your most critical applications.
