AGM will be followed by Ed Harrison's presentation on Secure Software Development.
Synopsis
Back in 2002, Bill Gates issued a memo to the entirety of Microsoft, launching the company's Trustworthy Computing (TwC) Initiative. This led, two years later to the adoption of the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) across the company, a methodology which was a few years later published for the wider public. This presentation will provide background on the SDL, from those early years up to the present day, as it evolves to become a true part of the DevOps process.
We'll show the practices we put in place today and how we use tools to help both Microsoft internal development and our customers produce secure applications.
