Securing your Security Product | Sharukh Ahmad

Topic: Securing Your Security Product
We start the season with Security Products. In this episode we look into the tricky areas when building Security products and how to address Security for those. We see how the perspective changes when we use the Security and developer lens and what to do about it.  Also we dive into practical approaches to take for Security in the long run, which goes much beyond pen testing and/or bug bounty and brings about a robust defensive mindset.
