“I think the talent that we’re going to see evolving sooner than later is more technologists becoming better risk professionals, because cyber risk and information security challenges are not solved purely by security professionals. If we’re going to continue to evolve and deal with this threat landscape, I think a change in industry from a talent perspective needs to be the adoption of risk capabilities.” – Samir Sherif

“From the security perspective, the smart thing for companies to do now is to push some of the responsibilities, knowledge, and awareness to the developers… We need to do that from day one. We need to think about security this way.” – Yonatan Eldar
