Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding: Chapter 5

​Technology-Specific Security with Dr. Katie Paxton-Fear

​I’d love to invite you to join me live for another session in the Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding stream series!

​This time, we’re diving into Chapter 5: Technology-Specific, where we’ll talk about how secure coding practices change depending on the technology you’re building and defending.

​I’ll be joined by Katie Paxton-Fear for a practical, interactive discussion about:

• ​API Security Best Practices

• ​Mobile Application Security Best Practices

• ​WebSocket Security Best Practices

• ​Serverless Security Best Practices

• ​IoT Security Best Practices

​This chapter is all about moving from general principles into real-world implementation details. Different technologies create different risks, and understanding those differences can completely change how you approach secure design and development.

​As always, this isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation.

​You’ll be able to ask questions live, share your thoughts, and learn alongside other developers and security professionals from around the world. Whether you’re brand new to application security or have years of experience, you’re absolutely welcome.

​About My Guest: Katie is a Staff Security Advocate at Semgrep, an API security expert, ethical hacker, educator, and creator of the InsiderPhD YouTube channel. She’s spoken at conferences including Black Hat and OWASP, teaches cyber security at Manchester Metropolitan University, and was named APIsec University’s API Security Person of the Year in 2025.

​I’m really excited for this one 💜

​I hope you’ll join us live!
