The ongoing rise in cyberattacks across the software supply chain and a shifting regulatory landscape are forging an unlikely alliance between CISOs, software leaders and legal experts. Privacy, the shifting and diverse regulatory landscape, liability and new AI/ML use cases all present unique challenges and opportunities for risk management, but to best navigate these challenges, legal teams must be involved, too. Why? Because today, software vulnerabilities can represent not just a business risk but a legal risk.

Cybersecurity teams and developers continually struggle to reconcile what can seem like two competing priorities. Delivering new capabilities and addressing existing security technical debt. But what if they can do both at the same time? Forward-leaning AppSec programs are finding smart ways to reduce security debt by instituting a strategic approach to managing security vulnerabilities. This approach starts by reducing the attack surface early on and throughout development.

It might seem obvious that regularly upgrading software and dependencies means your software is inherently more secure, but in practice, this is hard to achieve. Choice Hotels struggled to manually maintain their codebase and remediate all the transitive vulnerabilities lurking in the code. Today’s compositional applications created a complex archeological exploration challenge for developers trying to resolve security issues across a codebase. It was time-consuming, tedious, and imperfect.

In this episode, Marcelino Moreno (CPO, Stream) shares with Venkatesh (Venky) Sundar how product managers can contribute to an organization's growth by baking in security into the product roadmap. He also shares how a product manager can influence engineering teams to prioritize vulnerability patching along with building features to ensure that the customers use a secure product. Key highlights from the discussion.
