In Episode S3E4, we talk with Abhay Bhargav, founder of we45 – an Application Security Company and he is also the Chief Research Officer of AppSecEngineer – a hands-on online training platform for AppSec, Cloud-Native Security, Kubernetes Security, and DevSecOps.
We talk about why it’s important to foster a culture of collaboration between security and engineering teams, and what can happen if you don’t collaborate. We discuss the role of automation in DevSecOps and how it can be implemented. Finally, we touch on Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Please join us for an interesting conversation.
