Intro to Application Security
This introduction to securing software will explain what Application Security is all about, as well as the concept of “Pushing left” (starting security earlier in the software development life cycle; addressing the problem throughout the process). From scanning your code with a vulnerability scanner to red team exercises, developer education programs and bug bounties, this session will show you how to ‘push left’, like a boss.
