Today we are joined by Altaz Valani from Security Compass and Shaun Mckeag, Principal Software Engineer at Gen Digital, to talk about her personal journey in software development and security. Many listeners are either trying to get into secure software development, or have graduated from a program that teaches security and software development, or perhaps recently transitioned from a different role. It’s nice to have someone with years of experience in the field to give some perspective, guidance, tips, and encouragement. Listen in as Shaun shares her personal journey that will inspire and help those of us who are newer to the secure software space.

Today we are joined by Altaz Valani from Security Compass and Pranshu Bajpai, Security Architect at Motorola Solutions, to talk about the use of application security training to influence developers toward embracing security. Many developers are eager to learn about security but they need help. Developers move very fast because their performance is often measured around release frequency. All of this is happening while developers have to keep up with continually evolving frameworks and tools. It is possible for security teams to influence developers without getting in their way.

Today we are joined by Altaz Valani from Security Compass and Simone Curzi, Principal Consultant at Microsoft, to talk about the role of developers within threat modeling. When we mention threat modeling, what often comes to mind are data flow diagrams created during a security design process. After these diagrams are created and eventually hit the developer backlog, we discover more insights that further evolve the security design. In this way, developers are crucial to an evolving threat model activity. Yet, many questions exist. We try to answer some of those developer questions related to threat modeling.
