Synopsys: Software Risk is Business Risk

It has been said that every business is a software business. Corporate leaders need to focus on their business goal, which is to develop competitive advantage. The first step is to recognize that software risk is not just a technology problem; it’s a business problem.

The risks include poor software hygiene, security, and reliability, and they arise because companies do not prioritize security when developing, procuring, and managing their business-critical software. It’s important to establish trust in how your software was designed, built, and tested — whether it was developed in-house or procured from a third party — because once you deploy or use the software, you own the risk that comes with it.

Please join us to gain a different perspective on how software impacts business risk, gather new information and get fresh ideas, as well as network with like-minded peers.
