The Modern Developer Must be Security Minded, Too – Doug Kersten – ASW #184
In light of the far-reaching Log4j vulnerability, it’s become increasingly clear that the modern developer can’t operate without a solid level of security expertise.
Vulnerability management is not just about responding quickly but should be top-of-mind during all stages of software development from inception to delivery. Modern threats mean developers can’t assume security isn’t part of their job and push the burden of responsibility to their infrastructure teams.
Doug Kersten, CISO of Appfire, will discuss how the nature of vulnerabilities today makes it critical for developers to make sure they’re building projects in a secure manner in order to quickly mitigate vulnerabilities – or they risk being left scrambling to respond when a threat hits.
