The podcast covers a wide range of application security topics, including measuring AppSec ROI, API security, threat modeling, and the integration of security with product management. For example, episodes like 'Can You Really Quantify AppSec ROI?' challenge listeners to think critically about how security initiatives are evaluated, while 'How to Fix API Security Before It's Too Late' dives deep into proactive measures for securing APIs.
Time to discuss AppSec issues no one talks about.
Today, I'm joined by Kavia Venkatesh, Director of Product Security at a large healthcare organization. She didn't take the traditional path into cybersecurity — she came from biotech. But that outsider lens turned out to be her edge.
With over 10 years of experience leading cybersecurity strategy for hyper-scale ecosystems, she's built many security programs from the ground up, navigating 9 acquisitions in 18 months at a large tech org, and along the way developed a rare ability to translate risk into language that executives actually act on.
Kavia is also a frequent speaker at premier global conferences, including DEF CON, BSides San Francisco, and Nullcon.
In this episode, we talked about what most security teams get completely wrong during integrations, what she'd change about how security teams show up in organizations and the ”breachability mindset” that changes how you approach risk.
And much more!
Get ready, Kavia doesn't hold back her opinions. Let's dive right in!
