Yesterday I delivered my talk at @DoDAustin which was a blast and a huge success!
I love speaking about security at non-security conferences, because it gives an opportunity to open up the discussion to a new audience.
The talk was recorded and I'll post when there's a video, but in the mean time you can check out my slides below!

I am super excited to give my talk at @DoDAustin today at 11:20am!
My talk is called "Give Up! Just Stop Patching Vulnerabilities!" and is all about taking a proactive approach to application security. DevOps practitioners are a critical starting point for implementing security and building in best practices!
If you are in attendance, I hope to see you there and that you'll come talk to me!

Tired of endlessly patching vulnerabilities? It’s time to rethink the game. This talk challenges the reactive approach to vulnerability management and offers actionable strategies for developers to prevent first-party vulnerabilities altogether. By focusing on cultural changes, targeting entire classes of vulnerabilities (like XSS and SQL injection), adopting threat modeling, and rethinking patch cycles for third-party dependencies, you can shift from firefighting to building resilient systems. We’ll even explore modern techniques like ephemeral infrastructure and burn-and-replace methodologies to reduce reliance on traditional patching.
