Jeff Williams, in conversation with Tom Field from Information Security Media Group (ISMG), raises a crucial question: are we doing enough to protect the software that underpins our lives? ➡️ From finance and healthcare to elections and national defense, our reliance on software is undeniable. ➡️ Yet, as Jeff points out, many organizations are relying on outdated security technologies. #AppSec #Cybersecurity #ApplicationSecurity #CISO #SOC #BlackHat

✅ Your apps have a blindspot — and attackers know it. Web application firewalls (WAFs) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are stuck in the past, guarding the edges while threats slip through to your apps. Today’s attackers? They don’t knock on the front door — they walk right into your code in your production environment. #AppSec #WAF #EDR #DevSecOps
