What Does Software Supply Chain Security Threat Mean to Developers? – Dr. Chenxi Wang – ASW #194
How should we empower developers to embrace the NIST software development practices? Because from here on out, developers need to view themselves as the front lines of defense for the end-consumer. A more secure-aware developer leads to a more-protected consumer. Dr. Wang will offer her perspectives on the above question as well as address: - How companies can set their developers up for security success - The importance of implementing micro-learnings - What should CISOs’ expectations be of developers and developers’ expectations of CISOs after Feb. 6 and beyond? - How corporate boards should be aware of implications of developer’s pervasive development and software security and how they should work together
