Infosec Makeover: Love it or Leave it, Product Security is Here to Stay
summary
Claims measurement finds 19% of Fortune 100 actively hiring product security and about 50% of mainstream tech recruiting roles; product security maps end-to-end from cloud configs, identity, logging and SIM integration to DevSecOps, vulnerability management and operational readiness, acting as product security as general contractor that coordinates AppSec, security engineering and customer support gaps. A Central Europe hiring case shows low name recognition, mismatched applicants, and success hiring consultants or small-company generalists; run a 3‑month pilot and re-evaluate at 6 months.
