Inflection points and wild cards continually threaten to shake up industries. However, future-fit organizations are able to survive disruption by actively sensing and responding to changes.

Still, a recent Gartner survey found that only 38% of organizations have a formal process for this type of trendspotting. Executives who are not adequately trendspotting already likely will miss critical inputs to their strategic assumptions and planning.

This leaves their organization exposed to blind spots and risk, limiting their ability to capitalize on these opportunities.

In this webinar Marty Resnick (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst & KI Leader will explain how executives across functional areas can scope key trends and disruptions that enable accurate strategic assumptions.

Learn to factor in emerging macro and environmental trends that could impact your organization’s business models and strategic planning.

• Identify critical areas of disruption in 7 key areas
• Get Gartner insights on a range of critical macro and environment trends
• Discover Gartner strategic assumptions across 21 disruptive forces

A recent study conducted by Aite group found that 97% of financial apps have no protections against decompiling and viewing source code.

In fact, of the 4+ million apps in Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store, the majority are not sufficiently protected to stop even the most basic reverse engineering attack.

This is especially concerning with faster release and shorter testing cycles creating more frequent opportunities to introduce new vulnerabilities into production.

Apps can be your biggest asset – how can you prevent them from becoming your biggest liability?

With app security expertise in short supply, organizations are often limited to protecting only their most critical apps.

Not anymore!

New innovations in app security make it easy – and cost-effective – to incorporate app protection into your DevOps pipeline and provide the right level of protection to all your apps.

Join Mike Woodard, (LinkedIn profile) Application Protection Product owner at Digital.ai, formerly Arxan Technologies, to learn more about:

• Recent application security breaches and lessons learned
• A tiered approach to identifying essential levels of app protection needed
• A risk-based approach to moving from reactive to proactive app protection
• Best practices for incorporating App Security in all DevOps pipelines
