Worldwide, from government to retail, banking to healthcare, hacks and data breaches are becoming household names. Yet we often ignore many security concerns as we work towards our various delivery deadlines, handling only those that are easy to incorporate. And we generally rely on manual processes to ensure that even these steps are followed.
Similar to what we are doing with increasing frequency for functional testing, configuration, and deployment, we can integrate some security measures into our pipelines and other processes. This talk will go through a few options, using examples for multiple programming languages including C#, Java, and Ruby and highlighting how running them regular could thwart various security threats.

About the Author
I have been a developer with ThoughtWorks for over 20 years and have enjoyed solving technical problems and making people happy along the way. I also love to travel. So life as a consultant has been great, giving me many chances to enable solutions while living in places I never would have dreamed of living while growing up, including Brazil, France, and India. In addition to coding on many projects I have had the opportunity to facilitate training both internal to ThoughtWorks and at client sites over the years thus being able to share my craft with others.
