Better security through code hygiene

This page contains the resources for the talk titled 'Better security through code hygiene'.

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.

You will often find me speaking and teaching at public and private events around the world. My talks always encourage developers to step up and get security right.


Articles

Security is often about small nuances. In my articles, I dive deeper into various security topics, providing concrete guidelines and advice. My articles also answer questions I often get while speaking or teaching.
