Software security is an essential aspect of any digital product, yet it is often neglected until the late stages of the development lifecycle. This approach leaves organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can result in costly data breaches, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.
In this panel, we will discuss the importance of building security earlier into the software development process and breaking down the silos between security and development teams. By doing so, organizations can integrate security practices seamlessly into their software development lifecycle and make it easier for developers to write secure code.
We will examine various techniques and tools that can be used to build security earlier into the software development process, such as secure coding guidelines, and automated security testing. We will also explore how to establish a culture of security within development teams and encourage collaboration between security and development professionals.
By attending this talk, you will learn how to:
- Incorporate security practices into the software development process from the outset
- Identify and mitigate potential security risks before they become major issues
- Foster collaboration between security and development teams to build a culture of security
- Make security an integral part of your organization's software development process
Join us to learn how to build secure software from the beginning, and protect your organization from costly security breaches.
