We continue to face an enormous shortfall in security-aware developers in the workforce. With cyber threats increasing globally and the recurrence of common vulnerabilities in our code, it’s crucial we obtain the skills to protect the software and critical infrastructure we rely on.

Rather than investing in more tools, is upskilling the answer?

Hear from Peter Robinson, Head of Security at Zip, and Jaap Singh, Co-Founder of Secure Code Warrior & AppSec Trainer for an insightful discussion on why upskilling cybersecurity skills within the workforce is essential to closing the security gap.

Discussion topics include:

• How equipped are organisations to upskill their cyber capabilities?
• With the rapid transition to remote working and digitalisation, how
  important have application security become in the cybersecurity mix?
• The importance of the human factor and ongoing training to minimise
  security risks.
• Standards and certifications: What to look for when recruiting security-
  aware professionals

DevOps infrastructure that is agile, easy to deploy and scale up is the gold standard for many application developers, however, it can be increasingly complex. With many DevOps programs facing higher risk of cyber-attacks and data breach as security is often left out and not integrated into the SDLC workflow from the beginning.

To help companies embrace a security first culture, we’ve invited Secure Code Warrior to discuss the importance of starting left and empowering DevOps with the skills and understanding to practice secure coding and become your first line of defense. Our experts will discuss the key considerations for implementing security training and application security into the SDLC, how to engage with developers through gamified learning and embed security testing without any downtime and costing the earth.

What you’ll learn:

• Fundamentals for starting left with secure code training to maximize compliance
• Security best practice for maximum DevSecOps from developer training, risk scoring, to application security scanning and API testing
• Building security testing into your SDLC to deliver actionable results and reduce application vulnerabilities
• Integration and automation of application security for fast and secure deployment
• Customer success stories and how to successfully implement DevSecOps into your own organization
