David Harvey

David Harvey, CISSP, is a former principal consultant with Synopsys. David evaluated agile practices, led code reviews, and trained developers on defensive coding and threat modeling. Before joining Synopsys, he worked for UnitedHealth Group, where he co-founded and led a developer-facing software security initiative. David has also worked as an architect and developer at Siemens, Boeing, and Unisys. He learned about software security when the “information superhighway” was just becoming a thing and Fortune 20 companies were starting to bear the brunt of unsanitary design and coding practices that had been de rigueur in the old, segregated, safe “client-server” or “feudal” deployment models.
