GOALS

• Reduce the organization's attack surface by effectively managing vulnerabilities in both internally developed and open-source code
• Streamline security processes and integrate them into the developer workflow to improve collaboration and reduce friction
• Advocate for and implement best practices for secure coding and secure software development lifecycle management within the engineering team.

Frustrations

• Facing pushback from developers who see security measures as slowing down their work
• Dealing with a high volume of false positive security alerts, wasting time and resources
• Finding it challenging to keep up with the rapidly evolving threat landscape and new vulnerabilities.

GOALS

• Build a culture of security within the engineering team and empower developers to write secure code from the start
• Ensure the organization meets HIPAA and other healthcare industry-specific compliance requirements related to software security
• Optimize resources and budget allocation by implementing efficient and effective security solutions that provide clear ROI.

Frustrations

• Dealing with the aftermath of a security breach or vulnerability exploitation that could impact patient data and trust
• Facing difficulty attracting and retaining top engineering talent due to concerns about slow and cumbersome security processes
• Struggling to justify budget requests for security tools and initiatives without clear metrics and demonstrable results.
