  6. 6. The Fault in Our Stars
Senior Engineering Leader at AWS
  1. 1. Visual Studio Code’s Workplace Trust
    The May release of Visual Studio Code added something called Workspace Trust - what looks like a significant improvement in the safety for browsing code from within VSCode. Functionality includes being able to prevent code execution from running Tasks, debugging, workplace settings, or extensions. Looks like they have these features for either workplace or folder granularity.
  2. 2. Microsoft accidentally signed driver with rootkits
    Microsoft signed a signature request from a vendor that contained malicious software, without either the vendors or Microsoft's awareness. While Microsoft as since signed a clean version, the question is how did this get signed in the first place?
  3. 3. Ransomware isn’t out of control – security teams are
    Here's a think piece for us to...think about what we want and expect our security teams to do. While in any environment we need everybody to work on security together, security teams and management must set the direction and goals for us. With that guidance - how can we better prevent security issues, whether they're ransomware or others?
  4. 4. What are the odds someone will find and exploit this?
    Up to 80% of developers are releasing software with some known vulnerability. How can we improve that stat?
