Working with many functions and teams for many years in large organizations, I experienced first had the cultural differences between developers and security teams.  My presentation will cover breaking the barrier between developers and security people and how Secure Software Development Lifecycle Framework can bring the best of both worlds, creating an environment of clear communication and close collaboration while helping organizations grow securely.
