What SolarWinds Means for DevSecOps Practices

Appdome

The SolarWinds breach exposed vulnerabilities within DevSecOps practices, sending shockwaves through the tech world. 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indictment against SolarWinds further emphasised the gravity of the situation, alleging the company misled investors by failing to disclose these vulnerabilities and the subsequent breach adequately. 

This lack of transparency raises crucial questions about accountability and risk management in the mobile app development landscape, pushing organisations to re-evaluate their DevSecOps practices and prioritise robust security measures throughout the entire development lifecycle.

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Industry Relations & Podcasts Paulina Rios Maya speaks to Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, and Tom Tovar, CEO and Co-Creator of Appdome, to discuss: 

  • The SolarWinds indictment 
  • The U.S. SEC 4-day rule
  • The impact on DevSecOps practices
  • BYOD and VPN security 
  • The evolving role of cybersecurity
  • Building cyber resilience
