#149 - Product security with Jacob Salassi, Co-Founder at stealth startup

On this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast we speak with Jacob Salassi, Co-Founder at stealth startup, about product security.

Jacob brings over 10 years of experience in software engineering and cybersecurity to the table. Until four months ago, Jacob was a Security Architect at Snowflake, where he ensured every developer was wildly successful in owning security. Since then, he’s been diving into something new and exciting, working on a stealth startup. Before Snowflake, Jacob was busy bootstrapping application security programs in healthcare and engineering secure distributed systems for a hybrid-cloud security platform. He’s passionate about creating a development security experience that not only measurably reduces risk but also earns the love of engineers. In his own words, Jacob solves problems.
