The Diana Initiative 2022

Secure Application Development is more than just the software itself; it's about knowing who is creating the software. One of the most important relationships we'll have as a security professional, is the one we have with teams across the business - we can't build a secure organization on our own! We'll cover some common problems that arise from insecure relationships, including teams not being aware of your existence or processes, requests for help arriving too late or being lost in the noise, and only finding out about new features or products after they've gone live. This talk aims to give you practical examples and actions to help you take the initiative, to facilitate better conversations with teams, and cultivate stronger partnerships that encourages teams to reach out for help earlier and more often.
