Digital Quality Lessons from Star Wars (Adam Shostack)
Description
Even if you live in a galaxy far, far away, many of the cybersecurity and digital quality concerns that cause product releases to fail are relevant. Even the mighty Death Star is left vulnerable by one tiny flaw that should’ve been discovered and patched — and this is just the start of what we can learn about digital quality from the world’s favorite sci-fi universe.
Security consultant, expert and author Adam Shostack shines a light on the Star Wars series to reveal cautionary tales about software quality, cybersecurity and more.
