This week I spoke with three security gurus – Dave Farrow, Senior Director Information Security, Barracuda, Alvaro Hoyos, Chief Information Security Officer at OneLogin, and Gene Meltser, Security Architect, Sophos – about their current application security challenges and how they overcome them. Together they explored the common challenges of cybersecurity resource constraints, managing complex technologies and highly sensitive data, and difficulty in coverage at scale. The speakers discussed various strategies to overcome these challenges, including training employees to promote better security processes, building security into the software development lifecycle, using bug bounties as a force multiplier, ensuring fast and consistent feedback, and engaging the security community at scale. These strategies aim to improve security processes, increase efficiency, and reduce the risk of breaches.
