Scaling security and AppSec in fast moving enterprises with Jeevan Singh

The Security Repo

Application security can be a difficult task at all levels of a company. But as a start-up grows into an enterprise, or existing companies evolve. How do you effectively scale your security program? We have an amazing guest, Jeevan Sinhg who is the director of product security at Twilio and he is here to talk about how to scale an application security program. BIO Jeevan Sinhg Jeevan's lifelong fascination with defensive security began at a young age when I played the center-back position on my youth soccer team. I loved the thrill of preventing opponents from scoring and was intrigued by the strategy behind defensive maneuvers. The fascination grew throughout my adolescence and into university when a close friend showed me how malicious users could penetrate systems and taught me how to prevent attacks. For as long as I can remember, I’ve continually examined scenarios from every imaginable angle so I can find weaknesses and penetrate defenses in order to protect myself. As an Information Security Architect, I am still driven by this fascination and apply these same principles as I protect the company and guard customer data. His philosophy is to build security from the ground up and make it as transparent as possible. He does this by collaborating with software architects and senior developers to identify practical options for building secure systems, empowering developers, and working with sysadmins and network engineers to determine effective approaches for operating securely. He also works toward creating a positive security culture, instilling employees with security knowledge, and building defenses against security threats.
