Advocate Security For Your Customers By Ensuring The Safety Of Your Products | A Crucial Conversation With Alex Kreilein
10/03/22 • 52 min
CISOs and InfoSec teams in charge of product security realize how the drive for innovation can speed up their organization's product release philosophy. Software development teams want applications to continuously expand functionality to solve more customer pain points and go to market before the competition.
But it’s just as vital for CISOs and InfoSec teams to be product security advocates for customers—to ensure their accounts and sensitive data are safe from bad actors.
In this episode, Alex Kreilein, a Senior Technical Program Manager for Microsoft, discusses what it takes for CISOs and InfoSec teams to become security advocates for customers by ensuring the safety of software products. Kreilein also examines the importance for CISOs and InfoSec teams to understand the objectives of the software development team and to interject product security early into the software development lifecycle. Kreilein then presents why accuracy in security testing is more important than finding vulnerabilities and how it’s critical to establish one team across security and developer teams—by making success metrics transparent and allowing team members to hold each other accountable.
