Summary

The Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit was attended by Bugcrowd, where Nicole Malachowski shared three key advice sessions on trust, vulnerability, and risk-based approach to security. Trust was emphasized as crucial for effective collaboration between security and development teams, with suggestions including adapting security testing tools to the developer's mindset and formalizing a "security champion" role within engineering teams. Vulnerability management was also discussed, highlighting the importance of creating a culture that embraces vulnerability and filtering narratives to break down common language barriers. A risk-based approach was advised, focusing on targeted imminent threat elimination and prioritization, with tools such as managed crowdsourced security programs like Bugcrowd helping organizations augment their security posture.
