“Through my work in the industry, particularly with Cyversity, I have heard many stories of people struggling to get into cybersecurity, as well as leaders frustrated by the challenges of hiring and keeping talent,” said Adams. “My goal in writing this book is to help solve this disconnect by providing actionable advice gathered through my twenty years’ experience as well as insights from other industry leaders.”
Adams continued, “I’ve also spent most of my career in the software industry where security is frequently ignored or avoided in favor of delivery timelines – often with disastrous consequences. With the advent of AI, cloud-everything, and the Internet of Things (IoT), software runs our world. This book also helps software teams integrate security into their quality practices without sacrificing speed.
