In this clip, Nico Rikken, Open Source Ambassador and Technical Solution Lead at Alliander, talks about the challenges in promoting security awareness among developers, particularly in open source codebases. He highlights the cultural shift towards DevSecOps and the ‘shift-left’ movement, which integrates security practices earlier in the development lifecycle.
Rikken emphasizes the need for better tooling and early intervention to address security findings, and proposes a more streamlined approach to help developers stay up-to-date with dependencies and potential risks.
