Today, I’m joined by Max Alejandro Gómez-Sánchez Vergaray, Defensive Cybersecurity Manager at Banco de Crédito BCP. With a background in software engineering, Max transitioned into AppSec and has become a leading voice in promoting DevSecOps awareness and building robust AppSec programs using SAMM across Latin America and beyond. He actively contributes to OWASP projects like Cornucopia and regularly offers free workshops in Spanish on secure design for digital products.

Max shares insights on the cultural challenges in cybersecurity training, the complexities of translating frameworks like Cornucopia, and what can get lost in translation. We also explore building connections in remote teams and what global developers can learn from Latin America’s approach. Dive right in!
