How can sysadmins help software developers work securely and make more secure applications? While at NDC in Toronto, Richard sat down with Tanya Janca of SheCodesPurple to discuss what admins can do to help address the security challenges software developers face. Tanya talks about securing development environment and pipelines - developers routinely work from high privilege accounts because their tools require it, and as a result, have become the targets of black hats to get access to accounts, keys, and other exploitable resources. There are plenty of tools available to help work through the issues, including the latest AI-powered tools. LLMs can also help generate more secure code in the first place, and Tanya has created a set of prompts you can use to create more secure software. The threat landscape is shifting with these tools, and we need to act quickly to resist the new attacks!
