Practically Teaching the Next Generation
Chrissy Morgan
Abstract
In order to mitigate for the future we must find
innovative ways in which to train the next generation of application
developers and security professionals, on how to spot issues and
rectify. This should come before entering their professional careers,
ideally at university. Students are actively taught on how to attack,
however there is improvements to be made with the current state of
practical mitigation teaching tools. Chrissy, having researched this
subject matter for her masters dissertation will present the key
research findings, the areas that need improvement, providing insight
on how we can better teach our students. A realistic view looking
everywhere for inspiration from Academia through to the internet
underground.
