InfoSex: Adding sexappeal to informationsecurity en
Information security, a topic that is getting increasingly dominant. Everyone in IT (and beyond) is talking about it these days.
Everyone has an opinion about information security, though we all seem to agree it isn't sexy. Why? Because it's a huge undertaking to get all our systems secure. What is secure anyway? Everyone seems to have a different opinion.
During this talk we're going to journey into the uncanny valley of information security in such a way that it's easy to understand, we'll look into some (relatively) easy steps to increase your information security and I'll even try to increase the sexiness of information security in general.
Informatiebeveiliging: Wat je denkt, maar niet doet nl
Informatiebeveiliging, een onderwerp wat steeds vaker op de voorgrond komt. Iedereen in de IT (en daarbuiten) heeft het er tegenwoordig over.
Van een minister die per ongeluk de A4-tjes met vertrouwelijke gespreksverslagen zichtbaar vast heeft, tot aan een datalek bij de GGD waarbij de vaccinatiegegevens van alle geregistreerde personen op straat liggen. Iedereen heeft hier een mening over, en we willen allemaal voorkomen dat we zelf dit soort fouten maken.
Maar.... ondanks dat we het allemaal wel zo goed schijnen te weten, is het op veel plaatsen helemaal nog niet op orde. Zo zonde... want ondanks dat de spreekwoordelijke berg van informatiebeveiliging beklimmen aanvoelt als een beklimming van Mount Everest, zijn de eerste stappen naar betere informatiebeveiliging helemaal niet zo complex.
Ga mee op reis door de wondere wereld van informatiebeveiliging, leer van mijn waardevolle lessen die ik in de praktijk heb ondervonden, en van de tips en trucs die ik je geeft hoe je je applicatie(s) beter kunt beveiligen.
Pitfall Harry meets a greenfield en
Many developers would love to work on a greenfield project. No existing boundaries, the sky is the limit.
There is a downside to this, as without borders it's hard to create (and keep) focus.
I've been there... did that, got the T-shirt, but I've learned some lessons (the hard way) whilst creating a greenfield cloud-native bespoke multi-tenant ERP solution.
In this talk, I'll take you on a trip, through the wide-open world of greenfield, and let you in on the caveats, the mistakes I've made, and the challenges I faced while getting to the initial release.
