Join Us on April 21st

12:00-4:00 PM ET

Today, IT leaders are under increasing pressure to develop and deploy software at a rapid pace to meet mission needs and provide citizens with better services that meet their expectations. This pressure to improve performance will only intensify as the administration races to provide a better customer experience through digital services. The adoption of cloud native application development, microservices and new platforms, such as containers, will allow development teams to quickly build, code, deploy and manage applications. However, the introduction of these new technologies in the software supply chain often create opportunities for malicious actors, leading to high-profile breaches. Raising the question, how can agencies maintain mission focus while ensuring that the software and applications they use are secure, resistant to tampering, and less vulnerable to attacks?

During our virtual summit, presented by Veracode, join information technology, DevOps and cybersecurity leaders as they discuss the unique challenges agencies face in securing applications. They will explore how agencies can overcome these challenges by using the appropriate technologies and platforms needed to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they adversely affect operations.
