Streamlining AppSec for a better developer experience

Join Chris Colahan, senior security engineer, and Joe Harrington, senior security engineer, as they share Principal Financial Group's journey with application security. Not too long ago, the company relied on multiple source code management systems and a variety of application security tools. They lacked an enterprise inventory of code repositories, a common pipeline solution, and even a shared understanding of application security across the org. This left them with an incomplete picture of risk and a team of unhappy developers, who were often not sure what was expected of them. Chris and Joe will share their story and lessons learned from merging onto a single platform with a common set of developer-focused security tools—all towards the goal of happier developers and better security.
