Sprint #1: Start where you are

Welcome to the first sprint of OneHourAppSec - weโ€™re so thrilled to have you here with us, dedicating your time to application security. How good!

This sprint we will lay the foundations for the work ahead of us. Our sprint goal is two-fold:

  • Understanding what software you have so we can plan to secure it

  • Understanding the concept of security debt and making sure we can track it

There is a lot to do but we will do it in small chunks to make it more manageable.

Letโ€™s get into it ๐Ÿ‘
