GitLab's Brian Neel on Secure Software Development and Bug Bounties

This blog post summarizes a GitLab webinar with HackerOne about embedding security earlier in the software development lifecycle and using a bug bounty program to provide continuous, wide-ranging coverage that complements traditional audits, scans, and testing tools. It reviews the historical evolution of security practices (audits, scans, pentests, static/dynamic analysis, test-driven development) and argues that hacker-powered security catches issues those methods miss.
