Security Design Principles and the Hacker Mindset - Online Workshop
Wednesday, 7 April 2021, 10:00am - 12:00pm
It is more effective to design and build security into your systems than it is to try and bolt it on at the end.
In this Kiwi SaaS security workshop – recommended for anyone involved in designing or building applications – we’ll explore a range of options to help you protect your data and intellectual property.
The session will cover security basics, including:
- Defence in depth
- Minimum privilege
- Fail-safe – access by permission and not exclusion
- Privilege separation
- Open-design principle
- Minimum complexity
- Complete mediation principle
- Least-common mechanism
- Psychological acceptability
In the second half of the workshop, we’ll define the ‘hacker mindset’ and explore how it can help businesses to be more secure, and the steps you can take to develop this mindset. We’ll also cover how the hacker mindset can be used to produce innovative and out-of-the-box ideas.
Cost: Free
Limited to 20 attendees
