Security from a Developer's Perspective - Josh...

Application Security Weekly (Audio) ·

2023/11/07

A lot of appsec conferences have presentations for appsec audiences -- but that's not often the group that's building apps. What if more developer conferences had appsec content? We talk with Josh about security from the developer's point of view, both as an audience hearing about it and as a presenter talking about it. We discuss the importance of knowing your audience and finding the hooks in security tools and topics that can resonate with developers. Segment resources:

How Security Tools Must Evolve - Dan Kuykendall - ASW...

Application Security Weekly (Audio) ·

2023/11/01

The categories of security tools that we're most familiar with have struggled to keep up with how modern apps are designed and what modern devs need. What if instead of being beholden to categories, we created tools that solved problems devs have today in the types of apps they build today? And what if we had more dev leadership to influence security tools as well as secure by design? What would that leadership look like?

We return to discussions of OAuth and all sorts of authentication. This time around we're looking at the design of authentication protocols, the kinds of trade-offs they weigh for adoption and security, and how a standard evolves over time to keep pace with new attacks and put to rest old mistakes.

OT Security - Huxley Barbee - ASW #259

Application Security Weekly (Audio) ·

2023/10/17

It's no surprise that OT security has fared poorly over the last 30+ years. To many appsec folks, these systems have uncommon programming languages, unfamiliar hardware, and brittle networking stacks. They also tend to have different threat scenarios. Many of these systems are designed, successfully, to maintain availability. But when a port scan can freeze or crash a device, that availability seems like it hasn't put enough consideration into adversarial environments. We chat about the common

Shifting Focus to Make DevSecOps Successful - Janet...

Application Security Weekly (Audio) ·

2023/10/11

What if all these recommendations to shift left were more about shifting focus? It's all too easy to become preoccupied with vulns, whether figuring out how to find them earlier in the SDLC or spending time fixing them within specific number of days. Successful DevSecOps approaches can be so much more than just vulns and so much more than just tools. Sure, tools are useful for identifying known vulns in dependencies and new vulns in code, but teams that emphasize people and culture will find it

2023/10/03

Communication is a skill that doesn't appear on top 10 lists, rarely appears as a conference topic, and doesn't appear enough on job requirements. Yet communication is one of the critical ways that security teams influence developers, convey risk, and share knowledge with others. Even our own Security Weekly site falls a little short with only a podcast category for "Training" instead of more options around communication and collaboration.

Stopping Business Logic Attacks: Why a WAF is no...

Application Security Weekly (Audio) ·

2023/09/19

The majority of attacks are now automated, with a growing number of attacks targeting business logic via APIs, which is unique to every organization. This shift makes traditional signature-based defenses insufficient to stop targeted business logic attacks on their own. In this discussion, Karl Triebes shares how flaws in business logic design can leave applications and APIs open to attack and what tools organizations need to effectively mitigate these threats.

Check out this interview from the ASW Vault, hand picked by main host Mike Shema! This segment was originally published on January 10, 2022. There's an understandable focus on "shift left" in modern DevOps and appsec discussions. So what does it take to broaden what we call appsec into something effective for modern apps, whether they're on the web, mobile, or cloud? We'll talk about moving on from niche offerings into successful appsec programs. Show Notes:

We go deep on LLMs and generative AIs to shine a light on areas that security leaders should focus on. There are technical concerns like prompt injection and access controls, and privacy concerns in training and usage. But there are also areas where security tools are starting to address these concerns as well as areas where security tools are adopting AI themselves. We'll share where we see AI showing promise, as well as where we suspect it's still premature. In the news, a Go Crypto presentation

A key part of modern appsec is communication. From interpersonal skills for fostering collaborations to presentation skills for delivering a message, the ability to tell a story and engage an audience is a skill that doesn't appear on top ten lists and that doesn't come up in secure coding checklists. Josh shares his path to becoming a presenter on technical topics, including stumbles he's made along the way and how he helps others develop their skills for slides. Resources: -

2023/07/25

Appsec teams and developers must both understand the consequences of what they're doing when building APIs. Appsec teams need to push for collaboration and help implement tools that augment the development process. Dev teams need to wrangle complex architectures and work on addressing classes of vulns rather than just playing BugOps with scanner outputs.

While much has been written and argued about the security of election systems - the things that do the actual ballot counting - there's other systems that have to be in place and secured before the vote can occur - voter registration databases, ballot delivery systems, etc. Might it be possible to use modern appsec concepts OWASP SAMM to secure them in a more efficient, targeted, cost-effective manner?

Check out this interview from the ASW Vault, hand picked by main host Mike Shema! This segment was originally published on May 23, 2022. Developers want bug-free code -- it frees up their time and is easier to maintain. They want secure code for the same reasons. We'll talk about how the definition of secure coding varies among developers and appsec teams, why it's important to understand those perspectives, and how training is just one step towards building a security culture.
