Our dev teams work at the most bleeding-edge tech stacks & on a variety of them. The pace at which things change makes it all the more challenging to solve the related security problems.

This means that devs have the freedom to experiment & play with their tech, while we still ensure security remains paramount.
To achieve the same, we are in the process of expanding our product security vertical that aims at multiple endeavors including VA/PT of our products & infrastructure, dev-sec-ops practices & tooling implementation, tooling (OSS - huge fan, commercial, in-house built), processes improvements, enhancing our infrastructure security posture at scale, web & mobile application security at scale, IoT security, etc. The aim would always be to try shifting left as much as possible & to be innovative with implementing solutions at scale. And of course to have fun while we do this.
