Building security tools is the wrong approach
If we want mass adoption of security tools, we need to use developer tools as the host
Hasnain says:
Kept nodding along here. This has definitely been my experience.
“What this means is that if we are to get true mass adoption of tools that can significantly improve security, they will have to be tools that first and foremost solve a ‘gunshot to the chest’ problem for software developers, and then solve a ‘gunshot to the chest’ problem for security teams as a side effect as well. Just reducing friction is not enough.
…
I have had a personal revelation. If we want mass adoption of security technology and to have a truly meaningful impact on the state of software security, we have to stop building security tools and start building developer tools that have security features. “
