Empowering Developers to Embrace Security

Track: Security

Abstract

In this talk, I will show you why it is important to empower developers to make secure decisions from the beginning. Good communication and collaboration between security and development teams will improve developer adoption. We need to combine a collaborative culture with the right process and the right tooling to enable developers to build their applications more securely.
