Check out The Secure Developer podcast for valuable cloud security insights

[#1]

Snyk is part of the Atlassian Open DevOps initiative and integrates with Bitbucket Clout to enable developer teams to more rapidly and easily build and secure cloud native applications.

For Atlassian users and organizations re-thinking how they secure cloud applications, this Snyk podcast has become a valuable resource for all things related to application and cloud security, secure coding, DevSecOps, and more.

Snyk created the The Secure Developer Podcast in early 2016 to help developers and application security teams improve the security posture of their software. Guy Podjarny, Founder and President of Snyk, is the primary host of the podcast. He’s the former CTO of Akamai, where he worked on the company’s first web app firewall and security code analyzer. Along with speaking at many conferences, Guy Podjarny has written several books for O’Reilly, such as Securing Open Source Libraries and Cloud Native Application Security.
