Here's what industry luminaries, co-authors of the Purple Book of Software Security and speakers at the event have to say:

"Application security is arguably the most overlooked security challenge we face today," said Vandana Verma, Security Relations Leader at Snyk. "Application security teams are often outnumbered by more than 100 to 1, so it is key that we come together as a security community to share best practices and optimize our approach."

"Viable collaboration is key to advancing the security field by sharing best practices and models for all organizations struggling with AppSec and DevSecOps initiatives," said Robert Rodriguez, Chairman and Founder of SINET.

"I couldn't be more excited to be a co-author of the Purple Book," said Gary Hayslip, CISO at Softbank Investment Adviser and author of 5 leading security books. "With companies launching new code almost daily, AppSec is a critical component to securing today's networks and business services, so it's more important than ever to share our experience and best tips."

"I think it is essential that those of us in the security industry carve out some time to give back to the security community," said Nikhil Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of ArmorCode. "I couldn't be prouder to see so many top security professionals working together to make a difference. By bringing so many incredibly intelligent and experienced people together to write this book and participate in this conference, I think we have something that can be incredibly valuable for businesses looking to protect themselves."

The Purple Book of Software Security will be officially launched on May 19 at AppSecCon 2022. The full event agenda can be found here: https://www.techstrongevents.com/appseccon-2022#agenda and a copy of the book can be accessed at https://www.thepurplebook.club/the-book
