Summary

The 2017 CISO Investment Blueprint was launched, analyzing survey responses from 100 security decision makers regarding the current state of application security. The blueprint also includes insights from industry innovators and will be followed by the publication of interviews with security experts, including Brad Arkin, Vice President and Chief Security Officer at Adobe. In his interview, Brad discusses his background in software security, his accomplishments in 2016, such as implementing the Common Controls Framework, and challenges he faces in consolidating disparate teams and processes. He also shares his thoughts on improving appsec, including the importance of containerization and certifications, and the effectiveness of bug bounties. Brad's goals for 2017 include continuing to work on certifications, data sovereignty, platform security, and collaboration automation. The blueprint is available for download, and feedback is encouraged through social media or email.
