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!
