With more than 15 years of working with APIs and API Gateways, security was always a central aspect of my work as presales, innovation driver and team leader in companies like Vordel, Axway and eezy. Recently, as Head of Payment in a UK based startup the need of security was imminent and lead to a structured approach beyond just adding a tool or gateway to cover security. Also, the usual habit to have a security team do a review very late in the application development process is not leading to more security, but to shortcuts and provisionary fixes to cover up the requirements. With joining 42Crunch I found a company with the same holistic mindset about security and an approach that was fitting my experience in doing security just right.
