Basketball legend Michael Jordan once said, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” When it comes to something as important as your company’s security, you can’t afford to rely on anything less than a championship security team. What does a championship security team mean for your organization? You may have hired the best
Applications have become as complex as ever, and with the constant evolution and advancement of applications, cyber threats have become of the biggest risks that organizations today face – and as most of the past cyber attacks on organizations teach us, those risks can be absolutely disastrous. Therefore, along with the increased business risks and
To start the discussion on why a Secure SDLC is more important now than ever, we need to take a look at the evolution in applications and how they’re being secured. Both applications and the way organizations are tasked with securing them have changed dramatically over the past few decades.
Let’s start with this: the idea of a security vulnerability assessment is certainly not “breaking news”. For centuries, organizations have proactively scanned their physical security in search of real or potential weaknesses, and for decades they’ve shifted their skeptical gaze to IT systems and devices.

In a nutshell, all talks and discussions revolved around how to get the developers engaged with the security process.
As requirements for faster release cycles and applications packed with more features than ever keep organizations rushing to production, we can’t afford to skip a beat when it comes to security. Developers with all stages of security knowhow are being hired, and right beside giving developers a thorough education in secure coding is ensuring the
