Abstract
Writing secure software is hard. Really hard. That’s why the security industry is heavily focused on building tools to make it easier to detect potential security vulnerabilities in your applications. Unfortunately, none of these tools is a silver bullet that will magically fix all your problems. Sometimes, these tools make it even worse, with their constant nagging about potential issues.
In this session, we’ll discuss how you can use a simple but effective code hygiene technique to boost the security of your applications. Additionally, following this hygiene pattern will make your code scanning tools much more effective, and a lot less annoying.
