Software security is hard and being successful is about a lot more than performing risk analysis or following secure coding guidelines. It takes knowledge of the technical aspects, but just as well the skills to navigate people involved.
In this session, we discuss all that in 42 things based on my decades of experience. SIX software security zombies. TEN software security flaws. SEVEN software security myths. SEVEN startup lessons. FOUR CISO tribes. SEVEN things I learned in 21 years. Oh, and ONE BONUS THING.
