In a video interview at RSA Conference 2018, Wysopal discusses :

  • The rising use of open source code in software development;
  • The lack of security ownership with open source modules and components;
  • The need for incentivizing developers to write secure code.

As CTO at CA Veracode, Wysopal oversees technology strategy and information security. Prior to co-founding Veracode in 2006, he was vice president of research and development at security consultancy @stake, which was acquired by Symantec.
