Why You’re Not Scanning
Why You Should
Overcoming Barriers
How Cenzic Managed Services Can
4
1. You Use SAST Tools In Development
Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.
• Good first step
• Efficient for some remediations
• Teaches Developers best practices
• Commonly accepted method
• Insufficient = False sense of security
5
2. Production Team Afraid of Down Time
Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.
• Production Team measured by up time
• If it’s not broke, don’t fix it
• Security Analyst needs Production Buy-In to actively monitor production environments
6
3. Production Team May Not Have Skill Set
Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.
• Depends on team • Mostly made up of guys who plan
and manage patches, maintain hardware, and rollout new systems.
• If they’re not comfortable…they will
resist
7
4. Confusion Over Whose Budget Pays
Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.
• Is this Developers’ budget? • They built it, unless it’s outsourced
• Is it Security Analysts’ budget?
• It’s security…and development and production…
• Is it Production budget? • They run it.
8
5. You Haven’t Gotten Around To it Yet
Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.
• Even if everyone agrees it should be done…it has to become a priority
• Like brushing teeth…you can skip it, but eventually there’ll be a hole.
• Gets deferred.

1. You use SAST tools in Development
2. Production team afraid of down time
3. Production team may not have skill
set
4. Confusion over whose budget pays
5. You haven’t gotten around to it yet
…And 7 Reasons You Really
Should
11
1. Some Vulnerabilities Can't Be Found by SAST
Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.

2. New Vulnerabilities Discovered Daily

3. Production Apps Are The Biggest Risk
600+ Million Web Sites <10% of the
applications in
development
or in QA stage

applications are
in production
and deployed
At Greatest Risk!
Vulnerability Testing Must Monitor Run-Time Environments
