In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Josh Grossman, co-leader of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) project, shares key updates and strategic thinking behind the release of ASVS version 5. This release, years in the making, reflects a renewed focus on making the standard more approachable, practical, and actionable for development teams and security leaders alike.ASVS is designed to provide a comprehensive and verifiable set of security requirements for building and maintaining secure applications. More than just a checklist, it offers a clear blueprint for what a secure application should look like—making it easier to benchmark progress, develop secure design requirements, and implement effective controls. Version 5 emphasizes accessibility, particularly by lowering the barrier to entry for organizations adopting Level 1 of the standard, reducing the threshold of required controls from nearly 50% to under 30%.One of the major shifts in this new version is the tighter focus on the application itself, moving away from system-level topics like backup policies that tend to fall outside the scope of app development teams. This makes the standard more relevant to software architects, developers, and QA engineers—providing requirements that fall within their sphere of influence, while still covering the full software lifecycle from design to deployment.Grossman explains how organizations can customize ASVS to include their internal controls and build out secure coding checklists, implementation guides, and requirements documents tailored to their environments. He also highlights how ASVS aligns with other OWASP projects, like the Cheat Sheet Series and SAMM, for both control-level guidance and organizational process development.For security leaders looking to improve their application security programs, ASVS v5 offers a foundation to build on—clear, community-driven, and extensible. And true to OWASP's spirit, the project is backed by a passionate community, from project co-leads like Grossman and Elar Lang to contributors around the world. As Grossman puts it, OWASP is about connection—people tackling similar challenges, working together to make software safer.If you're looking for a way to bring practical, standards-based security into your software lifecycle, this conversation is your starting point.GUEST: Josh Grossman | CTO of Bounce Security and co-leader of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) project | https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshcgrossman/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESOWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS): https://owasp.org/www-project-application-security-verification-standard/Learn more and catch more stories from OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Barcelona coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/owasp-global-appsec-barcelona-2025-application-security-event-coverage-in-catalunya-spainCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

In this Brand Story episode, hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli welcome Lebin Cheng from Imperva to discuss the ever-important topic of API security. As the head of the API security team at Imperva, Lebin Cheng offers a nuanced view into the challenges and solutions involved in protecting sensitive data facilitated by APIs. A central theme of the discussion revolves around API security's complexity due to APIs' role in digital transformation, cloud migration, and data integration. APIs act as a gateway for data interaction and integration, offering flexibility but also introducing significant security risks.Cheng underscores that as APIs provide open access to critical data, they become prime targets for sophisticated cyber threats. These threats exploit vulnerabilities in API deployments, making robust security measures indispensable. Cheng highlights the importance of securing APIs not as a one-time effort but as an ongoing process. He discusses how Imperva employs real-time monitoring and behavioral analysis to enhance API security. By establishing a baseline of what constitutes normal behavior, Imperva can quickly detect and respond to anomalies. This approach goes beyond traditional, static security measures, which often fall short against dynamic threats that evolve alongside technology.Additionally, the conversation touches on the notion of 'security by design.' Cheng advocates for integrating security considerations from the earliest stages of API development. This results in more resilient applications capable of withstanding sophisticated attacks. The discussion also notes the growing trend of DevSecOps, which emphasizes the collaboration between development, security, and operations teams to embed security throughout the software development lifecycle. Real-world applications of these principles are evident in various sectors, including open banking.Cheng explains how open banking initiatives, which allow smaller financial institutions to access larger banks' data via APIs, highlight the necessity of strong API security. A breached API could expose sensitive financial data, leading to significant financial and reputational damage. The hosts and Cheng also explore how Imperva's innovation in API security involves leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies help in identifying and mitigating potential risks by analyzing vast amounts of data to detect unusual patterns that might indicate a security threat.In closing, Cheng emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation and vigilance in the field of API security. He invites organizations to adopt a proactive stance, continuously updating their security measures to protect their data assets effectively. This episode serves as a compelling reminder of the critical role API security plays in today's interconnected digital world.Learn more about Imperva: https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Lebin Cheng, VP, API Security, Imperva [@Imperva]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/lebin/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Imperva: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/impervaAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

 Want to make the most out of your next podcast appearance? https://content.leadquizzes.com/lp/fk1JL_FgeQ Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Every software developer knows about the meeting in February 2011 at a skiing lodge in Utah. Seventeen people met to produce the “Agile Software Manifesto.” Large software projects were falling left and right. This was a group of experienced developers who thought interaction and flexibility were keys to producing complex code effectively. They introduce concepts like iteration and technical debt to the general audience. Twenty- three years later we see a distortion of these concepts in the federal government's approach to software development. They may launch an application quickly and suboptimal, and then expect to iterate. However, this process has been distorted to a point where 70% of the federal IT budget is spent on this “iteration” under the guise of Operations and Maintenance. Today, we sat down with Sonny Hashimi, the Head of Global Sector for Unquirky. He has experience in the commercial world as well as the federal government. His last federal title was Commissioner, Federal Acquisition Service for the GSA. He has seen this flawed software development strategy from many angles. He suggests that proprietary software should be replaced by open-source methods that will allow for rapid change in code. That way, patches, and changes in direction of application development can be accomplished in a timely manner. This change would free up millions of dollars to accomplish improvements in federal systems. Listen to hear his diagnosis of the problem and the options he provides.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Xiang Ji and Nathan Hessler join hosts Sundi Myint and Owen Bickford to compare actor model implementation in Elixir, Ruby, and Clojure. In Elixir, the actor model is core to how the BEAM VM works, with lightweight processes communicating asynchronously via message passing. GenServers provide a common abstraction for building actors, handling messages, and maintaining internal state. In Ruby, the actor model is represented through Ractors, which currently map to OS threads. They discuss what we can learn by comparing models, understanding tradeoffs between VMs, languages, and concurrency primitives, and how this knowledge can help us choose the best tools for a project. Topics discussed in this episode: Difference between actor model and shared memory concurrency Isolation of actor state and communication via message passing BEAM VM design for high concurrency via lightweight processes GenServers as common abstraction for building stateful actors GenServer callbacks for message handling and state updates Agents as similar process abstraction to GenServers Shared state utilities like ETS for inter-process communication Global Interpreter Lock in older Ruby VMs Ractors as initial actor implementation in Ruby mapping to threads Planned improvements to Ruby concurrency in 3.3 Akka implementation of actor model on JVM using thread scheduling Limitations of shared memory concurrency on JVM Project Loom bringing lightweight processes to JVM Building GenServer behavior in Ruby using metaprogramming CSP model of communication using channels in Clojure Differences between BEAM scheduler and thread-based VMs Comparing Elixir to academic languages like Haskell Remote and theScore are hiring!
