Today we are joined by Altaz Valani from Security Compass and Spencer Koch, Offensive Security Professional at Reddit, to talk about Agile Security in technology companies from an Executive’s perspective.

As with any change, there needs to be an ongoing effort from security teams to provide assurance and business value for agility. Agile is at the forefront of technology companies today, and security can be an enabler by reducing risk without  getting in the way.
