Welcome to the SECURE | CYBER CONNECT Podcast with Jay Adamson and Warren Atkinson, where we’re joined by information and Cyber Security, Technology, and Talent Acquisition professionals who share their journeys, unique perspectives, and offer valuable advice and guidance. 👥 JOIN THE SECURE | CYBER CONNECT COMMUNITY: https://smart-connect-cyber.mn.co/ ✅ Learn More: https://linktr.ee/securecyberconnect We are thrilled to be joined by Luis Rodriguez, a leading expert in software security, cyber threat detection, and supply chain risk management. With over 15 years of experience in cyber security, cryptography, and static analysis, Luis has been at the forefront of securing software ecosystems. A CISSP-certified physicist and mathematician, he co-founded Kiuwan, a pioneering startup focused on identifying security vulnerabilities in source code using static analysis, which he successfully exited in 2018. Following the SolarWinds attack and the rise of software supply chain threats, he co-founded Xygeni Security, where he now serves as CTO, specialising in malicious behaviour detection, supply chain security, and securing third-party software components. In this episode, we explore the growing risks of software supply chain attacks, vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies, and the evolution of open-source security, along with practical strategies to secure the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Luis shares expert insights on detecting malicious code, mitigating risks in third-party libraries, strengthening software security, and defending against evolving cyber threats. We also discuss recent high-profile security incidents, including the SSH backdoor discovery, and examine how organisations can future-proof their cybersecurity strategies to protect against emerging risks.
