Software Engineering Institute

CyberSecurity has traditionally been regarded as a function of a distinct security group. In reality, security and cyber resilient software is the responsibility of everyone in the organization. There is a well intended call to "shift security left" but no one knows how! Instead, organizations are depending on developers to become cyber-savvy on their own. Attendees will learn about why to *not* shift left, how to build a new security culture, and tips, tricks, and tools for moving away from security hobbyists to having experienced pros.
