102. Security in the Software Development Space, with Gary Jackson

On this week’s episode, we take a look at security in the software development space. Among the topics we discuss are why security is of paramount importance when it comes to developing software, how a company called Codiscope is working to help developers of all stripes build more secure software from the start, and the role their new developer tool called Jacks plays in that mission. Gary Jackson, CEO of Codiscope, joins us on this week's episode. Gary has over 25 years of software leadership experience. He grew Shunra Software to become an industry-recognized authority in network virtualization and application performance engineering before being acquired by HP in 2014. He also spearheaded the growth and sale of Ounce Labs to IBM, whose technology has become IBM’s flagship enterprise code scanning tool. Gary has previously held leadership positions at a variety of high-tech companies including Quova (an IP geolocation service), Ozro (contract negotiation software), and Vantive (CRM Software).
