As a consultant, Laura Bell-Main earned a reputation for being “the Mary Poppins of security”, swooping in to fix problems with her big bag of tricks. More recently, she made the leap from consulting into founding a product company, securing funding from VC firm Blackbird with the aim of building SafeStack into an online training platform that can help orgs of all sizes design secure software.
In this episode, Laura chats with Cole Cornford about the challenges of becoming a startup founder, the current state of AppSec training & education, Laura’s vision for SafeStack’s legacy, and plenty more.
