Security is top of mind for many IT professionals, and this month on the Full Stack Journey podcast I’m joined by a guest to talk about security and how it fits into the ongoing journey of learning and education for IT practitioners.

My guest today is James Holland, a UK-based security professional.

During the podcast, we discuss topics including:

  • The inadequacy of the security status quo
  • Why the “bad guys” are winning
  • Where the responsibility for security falls
  • Automation in security
  • Security moving up the stack
  • What non-security folks can do to help improve security posture
