About the Event:

Developers often have full access to the source code running your critical systems. For a malicious insider this access enables them to insert logic bombs, siphon data, or sabotage the system. Unfortunately, scanning tools alone are incapable of finding malicious code because it looks normal. Rishabh will demonstrate ways to detect malicious functionality and how to address this threat. There will be recruiters coming down from Cigital to speak to any students who might have questions and concerns about applying at Cigital for internships/co-op or fulltime positions.
