    The Simple Mistakes and Complex Seeds of a Vulnerability Management Program - Emily Fox - ASW #275

    The Simple Mistakes and Complex Seeds of a Vulnerability Management Program - Emily Fox - ASW #275

    The need for vuln management programs has been around since the first bugs -- but lots of programs remain stuck in the past. We talk about the traps to avoid in VM programs, the easy-to-say yet hard-to-do foundations that VM programs need, and smarter ways to approach vulns based in modern app development. We also explore the ecosystem of acronyms around vulns and figure out what's useful (if anything) in CVSS, SSVC, EPSS, and more.

    Creating the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard - Farshad Abasi - ASW #274

    Creating the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard - Farshad Abasi - ASW #274

    Farshad Abasi joins us again to talk about creating a new OWASP project, the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard. (Bonus points for not being a top ten list!) We talk about what it takes to pitch a new project and the problems that this new project is trying to solve. For this kind of project to be successful -- as in making a positive impact to how software is built -- it's important to not only identify the right audience, but craft guidance in a way that's understandable and achievable for that audience. This is also a chance to learn more about a project in its early days and the opportunities for participating in its development!

    Redefining Threat Modeling - Security Team Goes on Vacation - Jeevan Singh - ASW Vault

    Redefining Threat Modeling - Security Team Goes on Vacation - Jeevan Singh - ASW Vault

    Check out this interview from the ASW Vault, hand picked by main host Mike Shema! This segment was originally published on Dec 13, 2022.

    Threat modeling is an important part of a security program, but as companies grow you will choose which features you want to threat model or become a bottleneck. What if I told you, you can have your cake and eat it too. It is possible to scale your program and deliver higher quality threat models.

    Creating Code Security Through Better Visibility - Christien Rioux - ASW #273

    Creating Code Security Through Better Visibility - Christien Rioux - ASW #273

    We've been scanning code for decades. Sometimes scanning works well -- it finds meaningful flaws to fix. Sometimes it distracts us with false positives. Sometimes it burdens us with too many issues. We talk about finding a scanning strategy that works well and what the definition of "works well" should even be.

    Starting an OWASP Project (That's Not a List!) - Grant Ongers - ASW #272

    Starting an OWASP Project (That's Not a List!) - Grant Ongers - ASW #272

    We can't talk about OWASP without talking about lists, but we go beyond the lists to talk about a product security framework. Grant shares his insights on what makes lists work (and not work). More importantly, he shares the work he's doing to spearhead a new OWASP project to help scale the creation of appsec programs, whether you're on your own or part of a global org.
