What even is Product Security?

In this kickoff episode, we break down what makes ProdSec the connective tissue between AppSec, DevSecOps, and engineering. We unpack why it exists, how it differs from other security domains, and why every modern product team needs it, even if they don’t realize it yet.

Then we explore what real-world ProdSec looks like: from securing build pipelines and reviewing code to influencing design decisions without being the “Department of No.” We talk culture, collaboration, and the art of balancing developer velocity with risk reduction, all with a few caffeine-fueled laughs along the way.

Grab your coffee and settle in as we define ProdSec once and for all, laying the foundation for every chaotic, insightful, and occasionally ridiculous episode to come.
