Break It Yourself

Security has become increasingly important and more in focus than ever. We have been following the development in in the industry and governments across the world. And we strive to be proactive not only by adopting the latest and greatest security algorithms, providing SBOM’s and running standardized commercial tools (that will focus not only on relevant issues), we leverage property based testing to find the bugs that Erlang programmers are more likely to suffer from, and fix them early avoiding as many future vulnerabilities as possible.

Talk objectives:

  • Build confidence in Erlang/OTP security work and spread knowledge about property based testing and how powerful it can be.
