After building strong relationships with your organization, "#startright" in your dev lifecycle by finding security risk in your current environment (prod), then "#shiftleft" toward proactive controls over time. #applicationsecurity #productsecurity #softwaresecurity #appsec

Security champions are not the answer for your cybersecurity staff shortages. They are allies whose relationship can contribute uniquely to build security culture and reduce friction across your company. #securitychampions #applicationsecurity #productsecurity #softwaresecurity

OWASP Dev Day has been cancelled. 😞 This was created to focus on developers' perspective on security, but almost no one signed up. Before sharing my thoughts, what do YOU think happened here? #securitychampions #applicationsecurity #softwaresecurity #productsecurity

Don't make the first time you meet someone because you need something. As a technologist, I've learned the best path to effective cybersecurity is through building relationships, not technology. #securitychampions #securityculture #securityawareness #softwaresecurity #appsec

Weigh-in encourages buy-in! When rolling out a change that affects others, try to include as many of them as reasonably possible in the process. The more they are part of it, the more likely they will be strong advocates when it’s released more broadly. #innovation #motivation
The point of security issue detection is not to continuously detect the same issues. The point is to learn from the findings and adjust your habits. If you’re not taking a proactive stance & focusing on prevention… you’re missing the point! #applicationsecurity #cybersecurity

Know what I love most about the infosec community? The collaboration. So many opportunities to share threat, incident, and strategy across companies, even those who compete. We are better together. Are you getting out there? #cybersecurity #infosec #informationsecurity
There’s nothing like a global pandemic to test our acceptance of those who disagree with us. We’ve all had to make hard decisions about who to meet and not meet, helping us determine those who accept and respect our differences, and those who do not. #covid19 #coronavirus
