Going Passwordless (Micheál Kenny, Transmit Security)
Everyone recognises that passwords are bad, but people are desensitised to the problem. Let's understand why passwords are so terrible and what options are available to be rid of them.

Permission Models As Code - Securing The Entire Stack (Raz Cohen and Oded Ben David, Permit.io)
Securing your entire organization stack is a tough job, usually it starts from the bottom layer - securing your infrastructure, and then climbing up the stack, you'll have to make sure your application is fully secure. In this talk we will discuss about the variety of permission models and learn how to implement and version control as a code. We will talk about these topics: - Understanding why getting permissions right is hard - Permissions Models Explained - Policy-As-Code using OPAL & Rego - Reviewing Policy-As-Code Across the Stack - Demo of implementing policy-as-code into your application.

My name is Raz Cohen, Senior Devops Developer in Permit.io. Passionate about dev-tools and open source projects, and thrilled to do so while traveling the world ! You can find me on twitter - @razcodev
