PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ForAllSecure, a NEA portfolio company, today announced FuzzCon, the industry's first fuzzing event. Featuring fuzzing thought leaders and security experts from companies including Fuzzbuzz, Google OSS Fuzz, Microsoft Security & Risk Detection, VDA Labs, Fuzzing IO and Whitescope, the event will take place on Tuesday, February 25 at The Pearl in San Francisco. This is the premier event for those who are new to fuzzing, developers familiar with SaaS or AppSec, security experts, and CISOs/security leaders looking to learn why fuzzing is a critical technique to employ within the software development lifecycle.
"The application attack surface is growing by 111 billion new lines of software code every year, with newly reported zero-day exploits rising from one per week in 2015 to one per day by 2021," said Dr. David Brumley, co-founder and CEO of ForAllSecure. "Companies are fighting to beat attackers and avoid getting hacked. Fuzzing is a proven method for security testing, but the broader security community has expressed limited knowledge of how to best utilize this technique. We hope that by gathering the brightest minds in fuzzing that we will help educate the community on the values of fuzzing, provide actionable best practices and share our collective lessons learned."
Broken into three sessions, this half-day event will facilitate thought-provoking conversations on the advancement of software development and the role fuzzing plays in securing code:
