Developers need love too! Advocating for developers isn’t new, but in a world where they're constantly under pressure to keep pace with the demands of digital transformation, expecting developers to care about security can create friction in many DevSecOps environments.

Studies suggest that security teams believe developers don’t take the security of applications seriously and will sacrifice security in favor of innovation. Shifting this perception requires strong collaboration combined with automating and integrating well-established security practices into developers' existing workflows.

Join us to discuss:

• Being a developer advocate.
• Building a culture that reduces friction in DevSecOps.
• Approaches for integrating security into developers daily activities.

It is hard to argue the bold declaration made over a decade ago that, "software is eating the world!", because software has become increasingly foundational to almost every aspect of our lives. We wake up to our smart device alarm on the device that likely put us to sleep the night before. During the day, we bounce from one software enabled device to another and probably don't really think twice about the massive global software economy, not to mention the quality of that software. So what does quality have to do with software economics, and what exactly does "software quality economics" mean? Those are a couple of questions Matt Klassen will delve into in this inaugural podcast of a new series all about software quality and the impact is has - both negative and positive - on our companies, our jobs and the lives we live each and every day.

This episode discusses some of the recent changes in the CWE program to help improve the adoption and consumption of CWE in software assurance practices with guest Alec Summers, CWE deputy project lead at MITRE.  Summers shares how developers and practitioners can leverage CWE to improve modern software development.  Summers provide insight on what the community can expect next in future releases of CWE
