Defend your code

MSDN Webcast: Digital Blackbelt Series: The Software Security Crisis: Selling Management on the Need to Invest in Secure Software

Everyone knows that software security is a problem, a concern, and a challenge - especially software professionals. Why, then are so many companies still victims of Mal-Tech (Criminal Techie) attacks? In large part it is because companies still don't want to invest in the time and training it takes to build and run secure software. In this session you'll get the ammunition you need to convince management that they can save money by spending defensively and you'll learn about the evolving "Secure Culture" at Microsoft Corporation. You won't want to miss this introduction to the MSDN Digital Black Belt Series as it sets the baseline vocabulary for the sessions to come.

Presenter: Joe Stagner, Developer Community Champion, Microsoft Corporation

Todays Webcast is the first in the Digital Blackbelt Series: Defend your code from attacks. We hear so much about Security these days, some would say “not enough”, by learning to write Secure Code we will become more secure and sleep better at night.
