As Enterprises are increasingly connected to the Internet and as hard organizational boundaries are fast disappearing, security professionals are facing fresh challenges in Enterprise computing. One crucial element of success in this environment is application security, which serves as a foundation to all information security initiatives. This talk will examine how the adoption of Web 2.0 and consumer technologies impact application security and how you should respond to the new requirements. More specifically, we will cover these topics:

• Global trends and the enterprise security impact of Web 2.0 adoption, de-perimeterization, and the consumerization of corporate IT.
• Steps information security professionals can follow to strengthen application security, especially in an open and collaborative environment.
• An overall application security maturity model, and steps to create best-practices for application security.
