This is the seventh entry in this blog series on using Java Cryptography securely. Starting from the basics we began diving deeper into various basic cryptographic primitives such as Cryptographically Secure Random Number Generator, symmetric & asymmetric encryption/decryption & hashes. After taking a brief interval, we caught-up with cryptographic updates in the latest Java version. Skip to the TL; DR
Over the past several months, many organizations have had to shift their operations to a fully digital platform. This sudden shift was more challenging for some industries, like government, than other industries, like technology. And aside from having to adapt to fully remote operations, many organizations were also subject to tighter budgets, forcing them to become more efficient.

When it comes to maturing an AppSec program, there are several best practices that can help you get started. In part two of our AppSec podcast series, Tim Jarrett, Director of Product Management at Veracode, and Kyle Pippin, Director of Product Management at ThreadFix, share the top 3 things they’ve learned from organizations that have successfully matured and scaled their AppSec programs.
To keep up with increasing time and productivity demands in software development, it’s important that organizations are staying on top of their digital shifts through rapid technology adoption and the prevention of common snags in application security (AppSec).
Before selecting Veracode, Advantasure, a leader in the healthcare technology industry, was on the hunt for an AppSec program that would not only protect them against cyberattacks, but also prove compliance with laws and regulations in several states.
