Synopsis

Are you confused by security? Petrified by privacy? Worried by risks? Or do you work with developers who are?

Rise above the fear, uncertainty and doubt sometimes spread by security specialists and learn how easy it is, by joining us to play a game with other session participants online.

In the tradition of SPA, you’ll be doing the work. You’ll work in groups, discussing as Product Managers what software security to implement in a banking app. It’s fun, and you’ll learn from it.

Better still, this game forms a first step in Developer Security Essentials, a short set of structured workshops that any facilitator can learn to deliver to software developers.

Join us on Wednesday evening October 7th for a fun and competitive experience!

Note: We’ll be working in teams and using game boards, so come with your video on, with a browser and preferably a large screen available. Participants will need access to
  • Miro (an online app - https://miro.com/)
    • If you don't yet have an account on Miro that you can use, please register with Miro before the session, but do not create a team yet
  • Zoom (https://zoom.us/)
    • Although you can use Zoom in a web browser, a superior experience is obtained by installing a native app before the session
    • The Zoom meeting ID will be given out during the webinar; you will split into breakout groups once logged in
