Get started with security in your code.

May 26, 2023 from 10:15 am to 10:45 am

Speaker: Sebastiaan Zeeff

As a developer, you play a crucial role in the security of your projects. And, yet, when I talk with developers, they often say that they don’t really know where to start. They know that security is important, but they also feel that they lack the knowledge and expertise to really make a difference. In this talk, I will show you that you can make a difference and that you don’t need years of experience to do it.

To make it easier to get started with security, I’ll introduce you to a solid framework for security, the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model. This model is very approachable for developers and provides you with clear and easy steps that you can implement to increase the security of your projects. I will also discuss the philosophies of “shift left” and “start left” to show you that the best way to increase security is to consider security throughout your entire software development life cycle. I’ll end with a few concrete examples of things that you can do right now to increase the security of your projects.

This talk is aimed at all developers who care about security.
