Episode notes

This chapter explores the challenges of data residency and compliance with GDPR, highlighting the importance of maintaining an accurate data map. It also discusses the support for various programming languages in scanning platforms and the dual role of these platforms in identifying vulnerabilities while educating developers. The conversation concludes with the significance of contextualizing security vulnerabilities and exciting news about securing funding for product enhancements.

Traditionally, security checks and testing are performed towards the end of the software development lifecycle. However, discovering vulnerabilities at that stage can be costly and time-consuming.

This observation has led to the shift-left movement, which advocates for implementing security testing earlier in the software development process.

HoundDog AI is a startup focused on software to enable shift-left security practices. Amjad Afanah and Sudipta Mukherjee are Co-Founders of HoundDog, and they join the show to talk about their company.
