Abstract

In this talk, David will give you an overview of the Riot Games Application Security program. The talk will focus on the tech and social aspects of the program and why David feels both are important when it comes to writing secure code. Specifically David will talk about how we define Application Security at Riot, how we’ve grown to meet the demands of our fast paced engineering organisation, why we’ve hired software engineers into our team and the tools we’ve developed to help Rioters globally build fun and safe experiences for our players. David will also explain why he’s been working with a behavioural scientist from our Insights team to help level up security at Riot. Software will never be free security vulnerabilities so this talk will also explain why Riot runs a bug bounty program and how that’s changed our Application Security program.
