DVT Tech Insights: SH#FT Happens! The art of defensive programming

Join Joylynn Kirui, an infosec evangelist and Senior Cloud Security Advocate from Microsoft, at our next DVT Tech Insights Webinar.

"With every commit, the threat landscape increases. One single vulnerability is all a hacker needs. Vulnerabilities have multiple sources, and you must have a plan for securing each potential risk vector and identify vulnerabilities early. The later they are identified, the more expensive and dangerous remediation is."

In this session, we will cover how you can shift security left practically from your IDE to the cloud by integrating application security testing extensions in your IDE, code scanning, secret scanning, dependency review and how you can connect your GitHub repository to Microsoft Defender for Cloud and leverage Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection features. We cover how Defender for DevOps analyzes the GitHub repository for security issues.
