Thanks for sharing.

Similarly, Margo Selby crafted a very large, vibrant 16m textile installation titled ‘moon landing’ based on the work of Navajo women who wove the integrated computer circuits and memory cores that enabled the 1969 moon landing. Until recently it was on display at Canterbury Cathedral. It is accompanied by a musical composition for strings by Helen Caddick.

New comment by ellingsworth in "Ask HN: I'm now responsible of the security of a scaleup, how do I handle this?"

You might take a look at the OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) for guidance on prescriptive activities you can take to improve your security posture over time. [1] There is a toolkit available that you can use to evaluate your team(s) and establish a phased roadmap. [2]

The data you gather from the assessment can help you prioritize activities for your team/org as well as provide metrics for your leadership.

You can also resource your activities with some of the OSS available from OWASP as well as join any of the projects/discussions to learn more. [3] Feel free to DM for more.
