Workshop Intro 15:00 - 17:00 August 11, 2023

Lewis Ardern

Between Agile, DevOps, and infrastructure as code, development is happening faster than ever. As a security team, it can be tough to keep up. We need to move fast, and iterate quickly as new issues emerge. SAST is one piece of a very important puzzle in the SDLC, so using tools effectively is the key to success! This workshop will be a hands-on masterclass by the creators and maintainers of Semgrep (https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep), an open source, lightweight static analysis tool which can help enable development teams to scale their SAST efforts.
