Wayne Jackson - The Choices in Managing Software Security
Update: 2014-01-24
Description
"Increasingly, we're putting our lives on the line in software driven devices.From an industry perspective, we've got to start thinking about how we update these devices over time." -- Wayne Jackson
I have been working with Sonatype as a community advocate for a while, but never had a chance to catch up with Wayne Jackson until now. My main objective was to ask him the things I want to know about the company, what the security market looks like to him as the CEO and how he intends to guide the company in the future. We start the conversation with defining what, exactly, does the CEO of a software security company do.
"Ultimately the only way we are going to solve security issues in the cyber realm is to make better software." -- Wayne Jackson
