Security or Convenience - Why Not Both?

Traditionally, security is all about creating obstacles and making it difficult to access data. This is at odds with our drive for a more smooth and faster development process. How can we keep the software we’re building secure without adding friction for engineers? Can security ever be something other than a costly nuisance? 

In this talk, I’ll explain how to create a foundation for security by design, go over quick wins at the cross section of security and productivity that most companies overlook, and share my tips for building secure software without sacrificing productivity.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize patterns that promote security and those that hinder it
• Avoid wasting time implementing practices that make no sense
• Infuse a security mindset into your development process
• Understand what your CISO wants and when to push back
