DevOps and Agile IT practices have been around for a while. However, security teams are just now catching up. We will discuss how security teams can stop being "showstoppers" for the developers and actually work with them, not against them. Focus will be around empowering the developers with open source secrets management, securing endpoints and cloud native apps, and embedding security in the dev...

Most security programs generally get in the way of delivery (if they don't, to all intents and purposes, prevent it altogether) and are probably also failing to provide the required level of actual security. This segment can try to look at why this is the case and how (in general terms) security and product teams can change this.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw for all the latest episod...

Static application security testing (SAST) is critical for uncovering and eliminating issues in proprietary code. However, over 60% of the code in an average application today is composed of open source components. SAST isn't designed to find open source vulnerabilities (CVEs) or identify open source licenses. And manually maintaining a repository of approved open source components for developers...

Due to a combination of a) development teams embracing Agile and DevOps and b) that security teams are often outnumbered by developers 100:1 or more in many companies, there's been a fundamental shift in how security teams need to operate. I've spent a significant amount of time studying how security teams at companies, large and small, have attempted to adapt to this new reality. There are a numb...
