The Lay(wo)man Developer's Introduction to Security

Ever since I attended a number of talks focused on security at Velocity conference last year, I've been eager to strengthen my knowledge in the area further, and one of the outcomes of this was that I recently presented a very broad intro to security to my co-developers at 7digital.

It was a bit terrifying, as I still feel I've only scratched the surface, but I did want to sum up all the basic concepts and principles that most discussions of security revolve around (even if implicitly), as well as some of the specific concerns that become more relevant as DevOps culture and practices increasingly spread in the developer world.

I hope that these slides might be useful if you're on a similar mission!
