Computer Science: Developing Secure Software With Sally Earl From University of East Anglia
7th November 2023 @ 14:15 - 15:00
In this Computer Science online event for schools and colleges, we will be joined by Sally Earl, Tutor in the School of Computing Sciences at University of East Anglia, who will run an interactive session on Developing Secure Software.
Every system that a computer scientist creates needs securing. The global cost of cyber crime is in the billions, with businesses of all sizes targeted on a regular basis. This talk will explore how security can be prioritised when developing software, from the initial design phase to rolling out to the user. We will discuss specific security techniques, as well as best practices, for putting cyber security at the forefront of development.
