Thursday, June 13, 2024 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
For all its hype, the notion of “secure code” often intimidates software engineers. It gives the impression that we have to go beyond ourselves and depend on some exterior solution – be it a security expert, secure code library, etc. While outside tools and resources are helpful, secure code is frequently just the product of writing good code. With some examples from front-end & back-end code, let’s walk through how to write fundamentally-sound code that addresses security concerns.
After this session, learner will…: • Have a fresh mindset on secure code – write good code that happens to be secure • Be guided by tactical examples of secure code • Be better equipped to integrate security into software development processes
