ETS instructor urges developers to bake privacy and secure coding into apps
Summary
A recorded lesson from the Office of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) stressed privacy-by-design, data minimization and concrete secure-coding practices — including input sanitization, password hashing, TLS and patching — with references to major breaches and privacy laws.
An instructor from the Office of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) released a recorded lesson for software developers that emphasized building privacy and security into applications from the start, not as an afterthought. The session, presented as a recorded lecture, combined practical demonstrations (SQL injection, cross-site scripting, hashing) with privacy guidance and legal context.
The instructor opened by telling trainees that developers are data custodians and that “with great power kind of comes the great responsibility”. He urged developers to plan privacy at the design phase, describing privacy-by-design and the CIA security tradeoffs — confidentiality, integrity and availability — that should shape early architecture decisions.
