Veracode: Chris Wysopal on the Evolution of AppSec

Chris is co-founder and CTO of Veracode, an application security powerhouse which was last valued at 2.5 billion in march 2022. The company was founded in 2005 as a code review automation platform, and it has since evolved to be one of the gold standard application security tools. Before founding Veracode, Chris worked as a security researcher and engineer for a decade where he grew frustrated with the manual source code review process. In the episode, we discuss how long it took Chris to believe he had really created something special, the important technical decisions the team made both early on and later in the company's life, and how the DevSecOps movement and new entrants impacted Veracode's market positioning.
