Summary

In this podcast, we speak to Marco Rottigni, Chief Technical Security Officer EMEA at application security vendor Qualys. We find out what we can learn from his experiences of building a securing a software pipeline, including steps to ensure security is seen as an enabler, rather than an obstacle:

  • The role of a champion-led security culture to empower the development team and create processes with security built in
  • The importance of communications between all stakeholder groups, from CISOs to developers
