Next Wednesday [June 28th at 6:30pm]: Security Talk: Pushing Left Like a Boss

[Michael Prendergast]

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone's enjoying summer so far.

We have a great talk lined up for next week's meetup:

1. Main Talk: Pushing Left Like a Boss (Beginner Security Talk) - by Tanya Janca:

Talk Abstract: 

-------------------

With incident response and penetration testing currently receiving most of our application security dollars, it would appear that industry has decided to treat the symptom instead of the disease.  “Pushing left” refers to starting security earlier in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC); addressing the problem throughout the process.  From scanning your code with a vulnerability scanner to red team exercises, developer education programs and bug bounties, this talk will show you how to ‘push left', like a boss.
