Tired of repeating a pen test on a customer’s application and finding that they haven’t fixed any of the critical vulns that were found six months previously? Wondering why developers continue to churn out highly insecure code despite the daily news reports of data breaches? Frustrated with management’s lack of urgency when told about their insecure systems? Security isn’t just a technical problem, it’s also a psychological problem. Developers and management are often working within an illusion of safety which influences how they create their applications. Let’s talk about how to dispel the illusion of security and replace it with a reality that encourages everyone to behave much more cautiously within their work environment.
