Let’s Talk About Sec, Baby

It’s 2023. Cyber attacks are all over the news. Your managers, and their managers have seen data breaches and ransomware in other organisations and they are asking the question: “Do we have security baked into our app?” You’re an excellent developer, of course you’ve done best practices that you know of. But then they ask the next question: “what assurances can you give that we are not going to be susceptible to a data breach”... and that’s where the expertise finishes for most developers - so this talk will prepare you to go over that line and prepare you for the next phase of Secure Software Development. Join Louis as he brings humour, case studies and resources to help you build security into your mind, into your pipelines and into your heart.
