They will talk about some of the tools and techniques used by red team members, and how the red team work is organized within the larger enterprise to improve overall security. In addition, they will describe the balance between hands-on technical work and high-level analysis for a typical red team member.

Join us virtually for our TAG Cybersecurity May 2020 Meeting featuring Erik Fretheim of Western Washington University (WWU) as he presents Writing software that is secure by design. All are welcome.
Presentation abstract: Most developers focus primarily on getting software out the door, and address security issues as they find out about them. The principles of secure software development allow you to create software that treats security as part of the design process, not as a bolted-on fix at the end, or in version 2.0. These principles can be applied in very large software projects, with dedicated security-focused developers, or in your one-person app-development side gig. Come and learn from Erik how we can improve everyone’s security at the front end.
