Learnings from the podcast

  1. To enhance security program effectiveness, infuse security into daily practices of engineering and others. A simple example could be doing a security review as part of the code review process in SDLC.
  2. Training and Awareness programs should be continuous and actionable with a focus on behavioral risks in addition to technical controls.
  3. Choice architecture plays a major role in implementing security programs at organizations. A few examples could be the option of a password manager vs a specific password manager. Option of using a specific MFA provider vs support for multiple providers.
