In this episode of the Future of Application Security, Harshil speaks with Chad Girouard, AVP Application Security at LPL Financial, a provider of investment and business solutions. They discuss how security teams can better engage with developers, and how they can encourage secure coding through scanning tools and security champion programs. They also talk about how to manage the "results deluge" with single-pane-of-glass tools, how AI can help with more meaningful reporting, and why security buy-in is a team effort.
