Track Overview
Building Secure Systems
In this track, we discuss application-layer security in both its traditional forms and more cutting-edge forms like advanced encryption and the Internet of Things.
We'll also look at supply chain security, a topic that's increasingly important with modern software development methods.

Depending On If I Had Coffee Or Not Your Application May Be High Risk
Thursday May 20 / 10:10AM EDT
Security practitioners are often espresso'ing risk with qualitative measurements. We use broad, imprecise risk measurements such as high, medium, and low while applying them inconsistently if we haven't had our first cup. We struggle to measure if security work is driving down risk,...
