Summary
After years of working as a software developer, Nina Juliadotter was reading headlines about data breaches at major companies. She was horrified to think developers like herself might be leaving vulnerabilities that made these breaches possible. This inspired Nina to study for a Masters in Cybersecurity, and has focused on improving application security ever since. Today, Nina is Westpac’s Principal Information Security Consultant.
In her conversation with Cole, Nina discusses cybersecurity education and training, the crucial role of software inventory management, the importance of not being afraid to ask “dumb” questions, and more.
