of culture.
Posting all week about culture has been inspiring and insightful. Reading about culture, specifically application security culture, there is no doubt that the way a team plays together, stays together also secures together. There is a direct synchronous correlation between how well a team works together and the results they receive.
For those teams where the culture is unified with a common direction, their application security efforts prove time and again that deployments to production have been rigorously tested end-to-end throughout the software supply chain. I also realised that culture is predominantly about people, small teams of people, working well together, that change the direction of a corporation, and significantly reduce risk.
So in reflection, they way the application security team, plans, builds, delivers and protects the corporation assets has a continuous effect on the bottom line. They also reverberate throughout the corporation, where historically, security teams are the last defence, the tides have now turned where inclusivity ensures security is part of the process from the get go.
The week ahead will cover container security, and I am looking forward to reading, writing and sharing on this “misunderstood” and critical part of application security.
