a wholesome experience of learning together | A Tester's Journey: SoCraTes 2025 - Coming Home www.lisihocke.com/2025/08/socr... #SoCraTes2025
Back home from #socrates2025 and I am already looking forward to next year ❤️ it feels like a class reunion but one where all your classmates were awesome and kind people
Second open space day of #SoCraTes2025 was a blast as well. Super happy to see so many folks coming to my session on getting into #security, to learn about career options and gain insights. 💡

Photo of flip chart showing the following list of gathered bumps holding us back when it comes to building secure enough products: Authentication and authorization: boring and annoying, complicated and easy to mess up Knowledge: where to even start, lack of imagination what attackers might do "We had more important things to do" Implied trust Poor observability: complex, what to consider malicious "Let's hide this - we can't use the paper trail" Unclear incident response process: what now when the heat is on Insecure defaults Regulation: just ticking boxes, overinterpreting what is sensitive data Third party tools: no insights, so many supply chain attacks Performance drops: additional auth requests Poor usability of security features: people find workarounds
Photo of flip chart showing the following list of gathered boosters helping us move forward when it comes to building secure enough products: Authentication and authorization: enabler for features Check and update dependencies through tools Knowledge sharing: helpful security team, security champions, threat modelling Awareness by example: CTFs, cheat sheets Use helpful security products - trustworthy ones Define "secure enough" and risk appetite Use metrics for the win: show progress, motivation Regular external penetration tests Do security testing yourself first Regular fire drills and dry runs for emergency cases Regulation: what data do we really need? Security features supporting user experience: SSO Iterate Standardization: don't reinvent the security wheel Competitive advantage: customers expecting level Zero trust: guardrails, limit blast radius Celebrating success stories: reinforce good practices
Joined very interesting sessions at #SoCraTes2025 today and gave two myself. "Building Secure Enough Products - Bumps & Boosters" led to an impactful experience exchange of what holds us back & what helps us move in good directions. 💡

DB threw in a smol construction obstacle, so let's see how adventurous the travel gets 🫠
Greetings to everyone going to #SoCraTes2025 this weekend! We hope you can learn, share, teach and have fun there!

On my way to #SoCraTes2025! 🤩 Can't wait to meet known and new tech folks at this amazing open space conference. The past years, lots of good stuff came out of the connections built and ideas nurtured together at #SoCraTes. Curious what's going to happen this year! ✨
