Secure by Design

By Matt Busche

Elevator Pitch

If we as an industry want to stand a chance against modern threats, then our development process needs to change. Security needs to be part of the initial design, and in this session I will walk you through those steps, end to end.

Description

As an industry we stand no chance against modern threats with our currently development process and mindset. In this session we’ll learn how good design drives security and can help mitigate some vulnerability to outside threats. This includes putting security at the forefront when designing an application by ensuring dependencies are up to date, performing server side validation and sanitation for all inputs, and running checks against our repository regularly, if not on every pull request.
