Fixing vulnerabilities found by third-party pentests has rarely been a smooth or collaborative process. Once the extensive PDF report hits their inboxes, teams struggle to exchange relevant information, issues aren’t added to sprints, and manual tasks slow the process down. Meanwhile, critical issues stay open.
To keep our applications secure, we need to be able to work together effectively. And the truth is, while pentesting has lagged behind, many other AppSec testing methods have adapted to DevOps workflows. This fact alone is what signals to Caroline Wong, Chief Strategy Officer at Cobalt, and Eric Galis, VP Compliance and Security at Cengage, that the problem isn’t so much with internal teams — it’s that pentest providers don’t set them up for success.
In this APEX Assembly session, Caroline and Eric will discuss how pentest delivery can evolve to enable faster, easier, and more effective remediation. Attendees can expect to learn:
- What are the issues that prevent security and engineering from working together effectively
- What changes can help remediation become a more collaborative process
- What results teams can look forward to when implementing these changes

These days it seems no organization or industry is adverse to cyber attacks. From open-source software tools to critical infrastructure, threats are coming in all shapes and sizes. It’s more critical than ever to understand the threats facing your organization from the inside and your vendor ecosystem.
Managing your digital supply chain risk does not have to be a cumbersome process. Firms can look beyond security assessments and questionnaires to ensure that their vendor network is operating securely and efficiently.
During this session, attendees will learn:
- new methods for managing supply chain risk
- what tools are most effective to combat vendor risk
- how to generate key data points to make effective third-party risk decisions

With an alarming number of breaches, it is clear that the attack surface has greatly expanded. As enterprises work to develop a progressive strategy, there is an increasing need to deploy and manage a variety of advanced internal and external security services. This leaves the Chief Information Security Officer faced with a multitude of challenges to maintain and run a secure enterprise.
The CISO is at the center of the security dialogue and is ultimately responsible for the guidance and leadership of an increasingly intricate technology landscape. Given the weight of that responsibility, the search for the most transformative solutions that enable them to protect the enterprise is constant and the need to stay ahead of the curve, a must.
Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges and the most pressing issues of 2021 in the information technology sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.
Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.
