Application Security: Securing Data at Rest and in Motion [podcast]



How seriously is your business taking application security? Creating a secure software application requires many actions, but by far the most important are those that involve securing the data in the application—and these are the most difficult actions.

Typically, data at rest is data that is stored in a database, ready to be used by some part of the application, while data in motion is data being sent to another application or service, or that is being received from another application or service.
