dnbmth#1 - Agile Security with Tommy Long
Channel: Dotnet Bournemouth
Date: 2017-08-03

Your company might not make headline news if your software is hacked, but the cost in reputation alone can often justify increased effort to secure your products.

This talk will provide practical guidance on analysing your application for vulnerabilities, mitigation actions, and how to integrate security practices into your agile process so as to maximise value versus effort.

Tommy Long is a senior software developer, having worked across a broad array of industry sectors building products from small web portals to comprehensive enterprise-scale systems. He has been working with Gilmond for the last few years where he works with product teams producing HTTP APIs backed by distributed cloud-based infrastructure, and test-driven refactoring of heritage systems, to deliver modular system solutions to the energy sector.Tommy's broad experience allows him to fulfill the role of mentor, responsible for assisting in the personal development of peers, arranging training, code labs, pair-programming, and general support whilst promoting a professional collaborative culture.

Outside of the office, Tommy co-organises the .Net Bournemouth meetup and contributes to the open source community. He is currently working on several projects from a NoSQL provider for IdentityServer4, to a 4X Space Game. He spends so much time in front of a PC that he refuses to carry a mobile phone, and can often be picked out from the crowd as the one drinking copious amounts of Relentless energy drink.
