Speaker

Tanya Janca’s talk titled „Pushing Left Like a Boss” points at the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) where the costs of bugs grow exponentially the longer you wait. Fix conceptual bugs, and they hurt, but wait until the product has been rolled out, and conceptual errors have grown into failures that threaten the existence of the product, to say the least. But how can you push left? What are the best practices for your organisation to detect these failures early on and to remain agile in your development? Can you build a DevOps pipeline without compromising on security? Tanya Janca is a developer with almost 20 years of experience. She advocated safe coding practices for years, she accompanied the 42nd General Election in Canada as the IT security coordinator, she is a Co-Leader of the OWASP Chapter Ottawa and engaged in the OWASP Women in AppSec initiative. And lately she started a career as a speaker at various conferences in the States and in Europe.
