Amazing night last night at Microsoft Accelerator, with a great turnout supporting . With special thanks to and Lance Olsen for an engaging talk.

We're teaming up with the UK Cloud Infrastructure User Group to bring you this great event on security from one of security's finest, OWASP original and current CISO of Photobox. Limited spaces for this one due to limitations on the venue size so hurry and get a ticket. If you're interested in secure code and security in general then not one to be missed.

DIFFERENT VENUE

Thursday, February 22, 2018, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM

WeWork | 3 Waterhouse Squaree, 138 Holburn, London

Important to know | Turn up at reception downstairs and we'll walk you up to the 4th floor.

Dinis Cruz is a Developer and Application Security Engineer focused on how to develop secure applications. A key drive is on 'Automating Application Security Knowledge and Workflows' which is the main concept behind the OWASP O2 Platform.

After many years (and multiple roles) Dinis is still very active at OWASP, currently leading the O2 Platform project and helping out other projects and initiatives.

After failing to scale his own security knowledge, learned Git, created security vulnerabilities in code published to production servers, delivered training to developers, and building multiple CI (Continuous Integration) environments; Dinis had the epiphany that the key to application security is "Secure Continuous Delivery: Developer’s Immediate Connection to What They’re Creating". This 'Immediate Connection/Feedback' concept is deep rooted in the development of the O2 Platform, and is something that will keep Dinis busy for many years.

Hebrew speaking Business Development – Cloud Inside Sales
