It's expected that any organisation we interact with will keep our data secure. In most cases however, the weakest link in the chain is us. In this talk, James and Matt will look at data security from both an end-user and developer perspective. They will draw on their extensive experience as web and mobile apps software developers to discuss how breaches occur, and what can be done to protect your data.
This talk will be of specific interest to individuals involved in web and app software development and managers of software development teams. More generally it will be of interest to anyone using web and mobile apps who want to learn more about what should go on behind the scenes to keep their online interactions and data secure.
