Strategic Asymetry - Leveling the Playing Field w/ Chetan Conikee

Strategic Asymetry - Leveling the Playing Field w/ Chetan Conikee

Author: The OWASP Podcast Series January 2, 2019 Duration: 34:42
"In the past when we were writing software, it was our engineers and our organizations that had total cost of ownership of that software. But now, that has fundamentally changed. Engineers are using open source software and deploying the entire application on an open source framework, which means a large part of the software supply chain is no longer owned by the engineer. " -- Chetan Conikee In this episode of the DevSecOps Days Podcast Series, I speak with Chetan Conikee about his chapter in the Epic Failures in DevSecOps book. About Chetan Conikee Chetan Conikee is a serial entrepreneur with over 20+ years of experience in authoring and architecting and securing mission-critical software. His expertise includes building web-scale distributed infrastructure, cybersecurity, personalization algorithms, complex event processing, fraud detection and prevention in investment/retail banking domains.
