Speaker:

 Steve Jensen, BT Global Services

Stephen Jensen has been performing web application security assessments for over 7 years. With a background as a software developer, it was his experiences within the software industry that led him to shift his focus more towards the security aspect of software. Stephen is an advocate of the SDLC (Security Development Lifecycle) development process, which attempts to include security as a primary objective within the requirements phase of the software development lifecycle, as well as throughout the entire development process.
