Speakers
We're lucky enough to have:
Francois Raynaud (@f_raynaud) - DevSecCon Founder, Director DevSecCon Global giving us a short talk on DevSecCon and the DevSecOps community.
Daniel Cuthbert (@dcuthbert) - Taking inspiration from Lifts
We’ve forgotten what it is to be an engineer. We build stuff, we fling code, but would we trust the stuff we push? It’s time to rethink our approach to engineering and building.
Daniel Cuthbert is the Global Head of Security Research for Banco Santander. With a career spanning over 20 years on both the offensive and defensive side, he's seen the evolution of hacking from a small groups of curious minds to organized criminal networks and nation state we see today. He is the original co-author of the OWASP Testing Guide, released in 2003 and now the co-author of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS).

Stay secure my friends: My love-hate affair with security ‘basics’
I started my career in security operations. It was great - the world was at my fingertips with full admin rights across every single windows NT domain, RACF instance, Tandem, Unix and SQL box… it didn't matter that I never always fully knew what I was doing. The rush of making changes to the firewall in production in order to resolve a P1 incident was unmatched. I was like Eliot Ness, I was untouchable!
That was, until the business became overly reliant on its IT systems and any minor outage caused by me or my colleagues would escalate into a colossal f-up. We were unprepared, unplanned and caught with our pants down.
Many years after my SecOps days and much therapy later I'm coming clean because there are too many people throwing around how easy it is to do the basics. Those people have no idea of the reality. The shady dealings, the password-resets for favours and how I escaped the life of lies.
This talk may include bad language, and recollections of violence - attendee discretion is advised!
