Security’s function is to keep the bad guys out. Better development and testing practices have led to improved attack prevention, but too often breaches occur from attacks outside industry standard top ten lists.
Well, what if we could find out the top ten vectors that bad guys actually attack rather than the ones we presume they do?
Join Shannon Lietz, DevSecOps Leader at Intuit and James Wickett, Head of Research at Signal Sciences, as they discuss how you can get greater visibility into both how and where you’re being attacked, then use that visibility to build, create, secure, and deploy sites that protect what your business actually cares about.
You’ll learn how:
- DevOps and security can identify where attacks are actually happening
- To remove information silos between security, development, and operations
- Using this new information and collaboration can help you build more secure software
