Welcome to the Elephant in AppSec, the podcast to explore, challenge, and boldly face the AppSec Elephants in the room.
Today, we have an amazing guest, Catharina "DD" Budiharto, joining us.
DD has extensive experience in cybersecurity, having worked for several years with multiple Oil and Gas companies. She also served as the chairperson for the American Petroleum Institute (API) IT Security Sub-Committee.
Currently, DD is the founder of Cyberpoint Advisory, which offers Fractional CISO services to help SMBs protect their assets from cyber attacks. She has received numerous awards in cybersecurity and is a sought-after speaker at security podcasts, global conferences, and panels.
DD is passionately involved in supporting minorities, and I admire her favorite motto: “We don’t let the bad guys win.” I was fortunate enough to meet DD in person a month ago!
Given my experience in the Oil & Gas sector, I was particularly curious about the critical applications in this industry, where the supply chain involves numerous third-party applications and software vendors, each potentially introducing security risks. Beyond that, we discussed her favorite topic: the loge triangle the government, OEMs, and Owners/Operators regarding the shared responsibilities of securing America's critical infrastructure.
