SOLITA #DEVSEC LANDSCAPE

DEVELOPERS VS. EXPERTS

› Pros:• Enables continuous security testing.

• Developers will automate.• Minimal hand-over costs.

• Will find important non-security related bugs.

› Cons:• Not security specialists. Will miss some things.• May need investment (training, some tools)

LET’S DEMO! MANUAL TESTING BY DEVELOPERS› Let’s look at BURP Proxy as an example..

› Demo!

• The application is a customized “Surveypal”. Questions, answers, reports.• The demo setup is the usual development setup, only the proxy is special.

DEVELOPER -> HACKER

› Traits• Curiosity and creativity. What will happen, if.. ? • Perseverance

› Skills• Technical knowledge, deep/wide• Common vulnerabilities• Security testing

› Some developers are hobbyist hackers. (Apply at rekry@solita.fi)
