Welcome to this next Mitrais Newsletter for 2024.
In this issue we present a Whitepaper on the current industry standard web application security testing suite, introduce you to Diaz, one of our most experienced Technical Evangelists, and round out with a video showcasing one of Mitrais’ latest Management Development training events, and how it adds to the value Mitrais offers your organisation.
Everyday application security becomes more and more of a hot button for those of us dedicated to developing the intellectual property of software applications for either our internal use as a market differentiator, or for the use of your valuable clients. This is especially so when discussing web applications which by their very nature can be subjected to attempts by bad actors to breach them. In response there have been several tools released to enable developers to integrate web application security testing into the development process, and the Burp Suite has emerged as something of an industry standard in this field. In our Whitepaper, learn more about Burp’s key features, techniques for its effective use in a test environment, and the best practices for baking it into your development processes.
Our Featured Employee this time is Diaz Dwiastamika, one of Mitrais’ Technical Evangelists. Although initially drawn to gaming, Diaz instead joined Mitrais as a Junior Programmer in 2005, hoping to shape a successful career working with some of our diverse and international clients. His skills were a great match for his new role, but global software development took a turn that provided him with a major challenge. Read about how Diaz faced it head on, and leveraged the opportunities that Mitrais offered to grow his career to even greater heights.
In a dynamic global environment (sometimes referred to as VUCA – volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous), how we adapt and meet the challenges matters more than ever. In the spirit of Continuous Commitment, Mitrais’ management team was lucky to spend some more time with Dr Katy Tindall recently. Dr Tindall is a highly recognised Organisational Psychologist from the Australian Institute of Management in Perth, with decades of experience working with global executives in a range of fields. This is the 3rd time we have had the benefit of Dr Tindall’s consulting and training, and in this video, she discusses the processes that she believes will continue to make Mitrais a success, and the benefits to our clients.
Enjoy this newsletter, and as always, we wish you all continued health and prosperity for now and the future.
