MSDN Security Briefings

I just ran across some free briefings put on by MSDN about security for developers.  It just so happens there's a briefing tomorrow in my town...yay! I'll be there!

Here are the abstracts:

Writing Secure Code - Best Practices
In this session for experienced developers, you will build upon existing knowledge of secure coding best practices to learn about analyzing, mitigating and modeling threats. The session will discuss established threat modeling methodologies and tools and show how they can be applied with other best practices to minimize vulnerabilities and limit damage from attacks.

Essentials of Application Security
In this session for experienced developers, you will gain knowledge and skills essential for the creation of secure applications. The session will cover important security concepts and discuss the need for implementing security at every stage of the development process. You will learn how to secure data and communications and how to implement effective authentication and authorization methods. You will also learn about application filtering and compatibility issues following software updates.

These sessions don't look to be duplicates of DevDay veterans, which is great.  And, now that my company is on the road to developing secure applications, this is just another step up for me to learn and bring back more information.  Check out the briefings to see if there's one near you!

Update: G. Andrew Duthie has stated that the content is different from DevDays, minus a bit of overlap.  Thats great!

  • Where are you located? I'm doing a number of these events on or near the east coast. I'm off tomorrow, and presenting again in Butler, PA on Thursday.



    Whoever you get, I think you'll like the content. It's definitely not the same content as what you saw at DevDays, although there is some overlap, given that the subject matter is quite similar.

  • OK. Your MSDN presenter tomorrow will be Haytham Allos, since he's swinging through Illinois this week, according to my schedule. I haven't met Haytham yet, but I know that all of the presenters on the team I'm on are top-notch. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of the event.

  • Excellent. Thanks for the info!
