A New Hope for 2023? What Developers Must Learn Next

Wed, 26 April

Over the last ten years we’ve seen cybercrime accelerate beyond all comprehension,  We’ve seen the growing and relentless impact it has on our society  and our economies.  It’s taken a long time for the world to act but finally we’re coming together to resist this uniquely 21st century evil.  

At the heart of the resistance are developers.  Whatever role you have, whatever programming language or software you use - the battle is at your door.

In this session we’ll brief you on the state of the situation and what you can do to be more prepared. We’ll look at the bad guys and how they operate,  we’ll examine recent legal and government responses and, most importantly,  how the software industry is working together to create the tools, frameworks and education needed to help us all become the developers we need to be.
