This talk will cover the lessons learned from a 2-year journey starting an appsec program at a small-medium sized company that previously had no security program. This will be an honest look at what worked, what didn't work, as well as a follow-up analysis. There will be plenty of stories, common sense perspective, as well as discussion around goal-setting and execution. This will be the talk I wish I had two years ago when I was starting this adventure.
