Securing Code Through Social Engineering
Summary
Christina Camilleri explores what software developers are overlooking and the processes and technical controls that can be used to achieve a strong social engineering defense. Camilleri turns the tables and shows how social engineering can change the way security is woven into testing, operations, and development workflows to better secure code against human threats.
