The concept of DevOps and agility is nothing new for most companies and developers circling the sun. The most well known frameworks (e.g. Scrum, XP etc.) are applied in many development teams and lead to a number of benefits for teams, companies and customers. Evidence shows that agile methods cause better performances in comparison to the outdated waterfall method. For many companies the outdated waterfall method is the largest contributor to project failure. Another problem with traditional step-by-step programming is that products do not exactly meet the demand of customers and need to be redesigned which takes time and costs money. Through DevOps, development teams work closely with the customer and need to adjust fewer things at the end of the project.
The times when hacking attacks were unusual and only happened to big companies are over. Hacking private people and small or medium-sized companies has become a lucrative environment for many people with sufficient IT knowledge.

I’d like to show you how you can detect that your website has been hacked and what you can do to prevent such vulnerabilities.
“The first CEBIT of a new era” as Oliver Frese (Member of the Board of Deutsche Messe AG) called it. A pretty bold statement in advance of one of the biggest IT trade fairs.

We are Felix and René from the Munich-based cyber security startup Crashtest Security and want to share our 7 key learnings, which we made during our first trip to the Silicon Valley. If you are also interested in cyber security and want to learn more about our security scanner for web applications, checkout our website. Together with 4 other startups from the Technical University of Munich we had the unique opportunity to make a trip to the Valley and get to know the ecosystem from different perspectives. These were our key learnings:
