Keynote: Securing the Future

Laura Bell Main graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence before that was a thing you could get a job in. It wasn’t her finest piece of planning. She used to write natural language based systems for fun, in Java…. We all make mistakes…

In the past few months, Laura has been revisiting and rebuilding her history as a developer, looking at the systems and tools she has built and how technology has now changed to make those past technologies truly game changing.

As she explores this exciting future world we are now building together, she will help us all understand how application security is changing in parallel and what we can all do to make sure the future technology we build is secure enough to last.Laura Bell Main graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence before that was a thing you could get a job in.
