How to make friends and influence your security team

Devs and security teams haven’t always been the best of friends or worked together too well.

But how can you help this process as a dev? What can you do to make your security team happy whilst achieving your development goals? In this session we’ll look at tools and techniques that you can quickly implement and use to become your security team’s favourite person.
