Lots of good commentary in this thread. A different take, I moved from product development into Cybersecurity Application Security and it enhanced my entire mindset around application development and building products. It brought things to top of mind while I code that were lesser on the totem pole when in AppDev. I do not mean secure coding and remediating vulnerabilities but more holistic around building a product; security requirements, patterns, practices, etc. 1) if possible, do a rotation in Cybersecurity; specifically Application Security. This somewhat depends on what AppSec does at your company. 2) If your company has a security champion program, check that out.
