June 2021 Online Meetup: A hacker's mindset

A security awareness presentation, helping you to learn looking at your applications functionality from the abuse perspective.

We write software to enable information sharing and business functionality with the best intentions. Considering usability, initiative design, availability, continuity, time-to-market and all those business driven aspects of modern software development. Unfortunately, security (secure architecture, design and secure development) are hardly considered. This is no wonder, as it is not always clear for developers or business what is meant by security. How to test for security if the context is not clear?

To help you design and build (more) security software in the future, this talk will guide you towards understanding how a hacker works, what is a hacker's gain? This presentation will help you to look differently at your applications functionality. To see it from a hacker's perspective!
