Our trust in the internet is the lowest it’s ever been. In spite of our vigilance, we face more threats than ever before. Product security is a vital element in the defense against malicious incursions. This season of Compiler covers the particulars of product security.

With some help from Emily Fox, Portfolio Security Architect at Red Hat, our hosts kick off the season with a simple question: What is product security?

Phishing. DDoS attacks. Social engineering. These are not new terms if you know anything about cybersecurity. But emerging technologies are making these well-known methods of attack easier than ever.

Bad actors are paying attention—and they are leveling up their skills accordingly.

It isn’t just cybersecurity professionals who have to be aware and responsive– people working in product security are a part of the effort, too. What do they need to know to respond to these newer attacks?

This season, hosts Emily Bock and Vincent Danen will dig into how the security landscape has changed, and how IT professionals can work together to prevent and prepare for whenever, wherever, and however threats emerge.

Sure, AI has made a splash. And it's on us to level up, learn the ropes, and roll with it. But how do we even do that? And what cool human stuff might we accidentally ditch along the way?

The Compiler team ends the season discussing the importance of context, creativity, and applied knowledge.
