Real-World Security for Busy Developers
-
Kevin Lewis
Senior Developer Advocate at GitHub
The “shift left” movement in code security, intended to shift security responsibilities to developers, has largely failed. Instead of easing burdens, it has inundated developers with noisy alerts, straining the relationship between development and security teams, and ultimately putting the burden back on security. This session will provide examples of how successful teams have addressed this issue and highlight the concept of using secure guardrails that notify (but don’t block) developers in their native workflow and promote the use of secure defaults. Find out how to effectively mature your application security program and steps you could take immediately to improve your security posture.
