The Power of Developer-First Security – Hillary Benson – ASW #168
Developers want to write good code. Secure code. Security tools that optimize developer workflows for handling security issues can take a large burden off security practitioners and make triaging, understanding, prioritizing, and resolving vulnerabilities much easier and faster for the developer. We will discuss GitLab's views on what it means to provide developer-first security and see how these views manifest in GitLab's security offerings.
