Check Your Alibis - ASW #142
This week, we welcome Cynthia Burke, Compliance Manager at Capsule8, to discuss Privacy, Data Security & Compliance! In most IT shops, privacy, data security and compliance often resided under the same umbrella of ownership. While all 50 States in the US have data breach notification laws, we are seeing a shift in focus on data privacy globally. Privacy and data security compliance are often used interchangeably but this misuse in terminology (and the associated requirements for all IT organizations) creates a lot of confusion in an already complicated industry. Cynthia will explore some of the key factors in 2021 as to and why we need to get it right. In the AppSec News, Making security engineering successful, Go's supply chain, mitigating JSON interoperability flaws, automating the hunt for deserialization flaws, the importance of observability, and what to do about Exchange!
