Empathy for the (Devel)oper: Lessons Learned Building An Application Security Module
Security teams spend a lot of time focused on the results and impact of what happens when applications FAIL at security. In turn, we have a bad habit of ‘Monday-Morning-Quarterback’ing all the things that should have happened to prevent the security failure in the first place. But have you ever attempted to fully implement ALL of the security advice that’s out there in conjunction with business priorities? Well, I did. In this presentation, I will share what I learned about what it takes to get application security right from design to delivery, how to communicate about REAL risk (without the FUD) and why we should eliminate the word ‘just’ from our remediation recommendations.
