   Listen to the podcast (duration: 37:19) >  Cybersecurity has become so challenging and complex that the work of protecting against vulnerabilities is increasingly starting earlier, when developers are first building software and applications. This move to developer-first security is an extension of the broader shift known as DevOps, now practically the industry standard, in which the once siloed worlds of development and operations work together to build and iterate at a much faster and productive pace. Snyk, a leading platform provider of developer-first security tools, is one of the companies driving this approach, and Guy Podjarny , co-founder, chairman, and president, joins us. Guy previously served as the CTO of Akamai after selling his first startup, a web performance venture called Blaze.io, to the company. Earlier in his career, he built web application security products at startups as well as at IBM. He co-founded Snyk back in 2015, and it has been growing at a torrid clip, going from less than 100 employees a few years ago to just under 1000 nowadays. Last year, it raised more than $800 million, bringing its valuation to $8.5 billion. In his spare time, Guy hosts his own podcast, The Secure Developer.
