Java Security: Focused, Effective, and Under-Complicated by Erik Costlow

Hi everyone,

First meet-up for 2023 is an in-person event! We're excited to announce that MelbJVMs next meetup is about Java Security: Focused, Effective, and Under-Complicated by Erik Costlow

Abstract
Java Security: Focused, Effective, and Under-Complicated

As one of the most popular software languages 20+ years running, Java has many security capabilities built into it already.

Instead of shifting left with work and adding steps, you can shift a decision left about how you'll use the JVM with things it already does. Instead of bolting security on (just earlier), you can integrate it more easily.

This means more trust with your development and operations teams because they don’t need to do as much, and your team sounds more credible and influential by speaking the same terms that developers use.

As you will learn in this interactive session, simple adjustments or ways of discussing the JVM can yield big security improvements.

About the Speaker

Erik Costlow is a software security expert with extensive Java experience. He handles the security of Azul's JVMs that operate at peak speed while making security easier and better for all. Erik was the principal product manager in Oracle focused on security of Java 8, joining at the height of hacks and departing after a two-year absence of zero-day vulnerabilities. During that time, he learned the details of Java at both a corporate/commercial and community level. He also assisted Turbonomic's product management team in the data center/cloud performance automation. Erik also lead product management for Fortify static code analyzer, a tool that helps developers find and fix vulnerabilities in custom source code. Erik has also published several developer courses through Packt Publishing on data analysis, statistics, and cryptography.
