Resilient Engineering Practices for Security Against Modern Threats

Software supply chains, composed of diverse tools, dependencies, and collaborative workflows, have become critical targets for malicious actors. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities in open-source components, CI/CD pipelines, and automated engineering processes, exposing organizations to significant risks. Resilience in this context demands a shift from reactive defenses to proactive strategies that integrate security directly into engineering workflows, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed before they can be exploited.

QCon charges a premium price point, but I can't remember the last conference I attended (of 100s) where every single talk was interesting and I learned something.

What an excellent first day at QCon 2024 in London! 🚀 The sessions and speakers not only met, but surpassed all expectations, leaving me feeling incredibly inspired by the wealth of knowledge shared.

Jonathan White,
Senior Director Of Engineering, Liberty IT

As always hashtag#QConLondon becomes a source of inspiration for me. It is amazing the amount of things that are moving on the technology and software development worlds. The (current and future) impact of Generative AI in our ways of working, the socio-technical considerations that one has to make and the raise of Platform Engineering as a prominent need to be able to establish new things in the organization are just a few examples of topics covered in this amazing conference...
