Software Delivery InFocus: Policing Software Delivery

This is the sixth in our Software Delivery InFocus series of podcast episodes, starring Bola Rotibi - the Principal Analyst of MWD's Software Delivery competency area. In this episode, she explores the issue of software security - and how security can be "baked in" to applications during the development process - with guests John Colley (EMEA Managing Director for (ISC)²) and Alessandro Moretti (Executive Director of IT Security Risk at UBS Investment Bank).

In today's environment, security is a precious commodity that influences at multiple levels – from organisational to national and international concerns. We are now in an age where communications, online connections and software technology have broadened the reach of our social and business interactions, and have enabled new types of software applications to emerge. With the rise of Internet usage, workforce mobility, use of mobile devices and the pervasiveness of software applications in all aspects of our modern life, software security becomes a top line consideration that impacts both the safety of software and the ability to prevent cybercrime. Ultimately, delivery of secure software code should be as much a software quality focus as is the delivery of core functionality.
