Why it Pays to Listen

On this episode, Liam shares why it pays to listen, how to use content mapping, and the importance of showcasing the value of your platform.

Bionic is an Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform that can proactively reduce and mitigate security, data privacy, and operational risks by continuously analyzing an entire application architecture and all its dependencies that run in production. Unlike cloud security posture offerings, Bionic provides visibility into the application layer to help organizations manage the security posture of applications in production. CI/CD adoption means production can change hourly, making it hard to manage the drift, security, and compliance of cloud applications. Bionic allows teams to automate the way they detect and prioritize risk, with complete transparency into what applications are doing in any environment, at any time.
