The Importance of Engineering Privacy From the Get Go

Presented at BSidesLV 2023, Aug. 8, 2023, 3:30 p.m. (20 minutes)

The software we build has a human impact even if at surface level it doesn't seem that way. We as engineers are the stewards of our users' data so it's important to know how users are expecting us to protect their identity because it is the right thing to do even if it takes a little more time and effort to build in. This talk will cover the current challenges to securing user data and provide tips on how to protect it.
