Randall's Journey From OpenBSD To Snyk
- Randall Degges described his path from OS work on OpenBSD to devrel at Stormpath and Snyk, showing long ties to security and developer tools.
- He explained building auth libraries, joining Okta after acquisition, then leading developer security education at Snyk.
Developer Security Evolved From Manual Reviews
- Developer security historically relied on security teams manually reviewing code and dependencies, leaving many projects with no security tooling.
- OWASP's Top 10 frames common web vulnerabilities like unsanitized input leading to SQL injection, showing persistent patterns across decades.
Start With Static Analysis In Your Workflow
- Start with a static analysis tool integrated into your IDE and source control to get immediate security feedback.
- Connect a tool like Snyk to GitHub to run automatic scans, receive alerts, and optionally get fix pull requests.
