Thanks for your input! The importance of security will only grow more and more as technology continues to evolve but hopefully with a change in more developers using secure development practices as a day to day practice it will become less difficult to keep up. I think this is also where companies can integrate the use of security champions who are developers with a large focus on security, and can take some of the load off of those who aren't security focused.
