Quotes by Steve:
“Just like you look at performance of a running application, we’re really looking at the security posture of a running application.”
“The thrill of the forensic side which got me into performance, is what got me into security.”
“My best recommendation to developers is to find ways to get feedback about their security posture in their existing tool pipeline.”
