Session Name: #NoHobbyists: Building A Shared Cybersecurity Culture
Cybersecurity has traditionally been regarded as a function of a distinct security group. In reality, security and cyber resilient software are the responsibility of everyone in the organization. There is a well-intended call to "shift security left" but no one knows how! Instead, organizations are depending on developers to become cyber-savvy on their own. Cyber security cannot depend on Hobbyists! Attendees will learn about why to *not* shift left and how to build a new security culture using gamification and team-based threat modeling. Attendees will be introduced to the importance of a secure software development framework (SSDF) and walk away with tips, tricks, and tools for moving away from security hobbyists to having experienced pros.
