Software runs the world. It runs our businesses, It runs the shops we visit. It helps produce the products we buy. It automates our homes. It controls our planes, trains, and automobiles. It even runs the International Space Station and recent trips to the ISS and Mars.

Because software is so embedded in everything we do and experience in life, it's clearly a critical element in securing our current and future digital worlds.

Last year at DEFCON, a dedicated team of application security professionals launched the inaugural AppSec Village. It was wildly successful and the crew was ready to bring on the 2nd installation to life in 2020 ... until DEFCON was canceled (no, really, it was, and is) - instead, DEFCON #SafeMode was born.

It was a tough decision for the team to figure out how best to proceed with the new virtual world they'd have to spin up. There was even a moment where they thought it might not be possible to pull it off in time.

But, what do you think came to the rescue here, giving them the opportunity to successfully bring the 2nd annual AppSec village to life for DEFCON #SafeMode? You guessed correctly if you said "software."

With the recent changes in the work where more people are working from home, schooling from home, shopping from home, and more - it also changes how software is built, deployed, and used - making it equally important to bring an AppSec Village that addresses these challenges and opportunities and more.

Go on - launch that app, have a listen, and enjoy the conversation.
