Building Security from Within: Empowering Software Teams for Resilience

Increasingly, threat actors are targeting software developers and their code, finding new ways to attack enterprises from within. A new level of security awareness is needed, says Ed Adams, CEO of Security Innovation. And it needs to focus squarely on building cyber resilience.

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, previewing an upcoming webinar entitled Techniques for Building Cyber Resiliency in Your Software, Adams discussed:

• How threat actors are targeting developers and software;
• Why these targets are inherently vulnerable;
• The new level of security awareness training required to build resilience.
