Startup Security – It’s Everyone’s Business – Al Ghous – BSW #158
With the growing number of Security startups, often times the need for a quick go to market supersedes developing basic Security hygiene. However, the enterprise customers that startups want to attract will not do business unless they pass their third party risk review. The question then becomes, how can startups build security within, without inhibiting their GTM strategy or increases expenditure, in order to attract enterprise customers?
