Dealing with vulns tends to be a discussion about prioritization. After all, there a tons of CVEs and dependencies with known vulns. It's important to figure out how to present developers with useful vuln info that doesn't overwhelm them. Francesco Cipollone shares how to redirect that discussion to focus on remediation and how to incorporate LLMs into this process without losing your focus or losing your budget. In the news, supply chain security in Ruby and Rust, protecting package repositories, refining CodeQL queries for security, refactoring and Rust, an OWASP survey, and more!

Recebemos a brilhante Michelle Mesquita para provar, na prática, que AppSec não é sinônimo de “rodar um scanner e rezar”. Conversamos sobre como construir segurança desde o design, passando por threat modeling, SAST/DAST/SCA e políticas reprodutíveis — tudo sem cair na armadilha do PDF de vulnerabilidades que ninguém lê. Sim, nós também rimos (de nervoso) quando lembramos daqueles relatórios com 500 findings.Falamos ainda sobre carreira: onde começam as pessoas de AppSec, por que comunicação e influência importam tanto quanto CWE e CVE, e como programas como Security Champions destravam escala e cultura. Discutimos comunidades e referências (OWASP e afins), automação no pipeline, gamificação e até como usar IA para reduzir ruído e acelerar feedback útil para devs.E, claro, mantivemos o nosso jeitinho: didático, direto e levemente irônico. Se você quer sair do “firefighting” e colocar segurança como requisito funcional do seu produto, este episódio é para você. Prepare o café, abra o IDE e vem com a gente.O Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

This week, we chat with Scott Clinton, board member and co-chain of the OWASP GenAI Security Project. This project has become a massive organization within OWASP with hundreds of volunteers and thousands of contributors. This team has been cranking out new tools, reports and guidance for practitioners month after month for over a year now. We start off discussing how Scott and other leaders have managed to keep up with the crazy rate of change in the AI world. We pivot to discussing some of the specific projects the team is working on, and finally discuss some of the biggest AI security challenges before wrapping up the conversation. If you're neck-deep in AI like we are, I highly recommend checking out this conversation, and consider joining this OWASP project, sponsoring them, or just checking out what they have to offer (which is all free, of course).

Katia, Emmanuel et Guillaume discutent Java, Kotlin, Quarkus, Hibernate, Spring Boot 4, intelligence artificielle (modèles Nano Banana, VO3, frameworks agentiques, embedding). On discute les vulnerabilités OWASP pour les LLMs, les personalités de codage des différents modèles, Podman vs Docker, comment moderniser des projets legacy. Mais surtout on a passé du temps sur les présentations de Luc Julia et les différents contre points qui ont fait le buzz sur les réseaux.

Protocole A2A : standard ouvert (Linux Foundation), permet la communication inter-agents IA polyglottes. Version 0.3.0 plus stable, introduit le support gRPC. Mises à jour générales : changements significatifs, expérience utilisateur améliorée (côté client et serveur). Agents serveur A2A : Support gRPC ajouté (en plus de JSON-RPC). HTTP+JSON/REST à venir. Implémentations basées sur Quarkus (alternatives Jakarta existent). Dépendances spécifiques pour chaque transport (ex: a2a-java-sdk-reference-jsonrpc, a2a-java-sdk-reference-grpc). AgentCard : décrit les capacités de l'agent. Doit spécifier le point d'accès primaire et tous les transports supportés (additionalInterfaces). Clients A2A : Dépendance principale : a2a-java-sdk-client. Support gRPC ajouté (en plus de JSON-RPC). HTTP+JSON/REST à venir. Dépendance spécifique pour gRPC : a2a-java-sdk-client-transport-grpc. Création de client : via ClientBuilder. Sélectionne automatiquement le transport selon l'AgentCard et la configuration client. Permet de spécifier les transports supportés par le client (withTransport). Comment générer et éditer des images en Java avec Nano Banana, le “photoshop killer” de Google https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/09/calling-nano-banana-from-java/ Objectif : Intégrer le modèle Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image preview) dans des applications Java. SDK utilisé : GenAI Java SDK de Google. Compatibilité : Supporté par ADK for Java ; pas encore par LangChain4j (limitation de multimodalité de sortie). Capacités de Nano Banana : Créer de nouvelles images. Modifier des images existantes. Assembler plusieurs images. Mise en œuvre Java : Quelle dépendance utiliser Comment s'authentifier Comment configurer le modèle Nature du modèle : Nano Banana est un modèle de chat qui peut retourner du texte et une image (pas simplement juste un modèle générateur d'image) Exemples d'utilisation : Création : Via un simple prompt textuel. Modification : En passant l'image existante (tableau de bytes) et les instructions de modification (prompt). Assemblage : En passant plusieurs images (en bytes) et les instructions d'intégration (prompt). Message clé : Toutes ces fonctionnalités sont accessibles en Java, sans nécessiter Python. Générer des vidéos IA avec le modèle Veo 3, mais en Java ! https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/10/generating-videos-in-java-with-veo3/ Génération de vidéos en Java avec Veo 3 (via le GenAI Java SDK de Google). Veo 3: Annoncé comme GA, prix réduits, support du format 9:16, résolution jusqu'à 1080p. Création de vidéos : À partir d'une invite textuelle (prompt). À partir d'une image existante. Deux versions différentes du modèle : veo-3.0-generate-001 (qualité supérieure, plus coûteux, plus lent). veo-3.0-fast-generate-001 (qualité inférieure, moins coûteux, mais plus rapide). Rod Johnson sur ecrire des aplication agentic en Java plus facilement qu'en python avec Embabel https://medium.com/@springrod/you-can-build-better-ai-agents-in-java-than-python-868eaf008493 Rod the papa de Spring réécrit un exemple CrewAI (Python) qui génère un livre en utilisant Embabel (Java) pour démontrer la supériorité de Java L'application utilise plusieurs agents AI spécialisés : un chercheur, un planificateur de livre et des rédacteurs de chapitres Le processus suit trois étapes : recherche du sujet, création du plan, rédaction parallèle des chapitres puis assemblage CrewAI souffre de plusieurs problèmes : configuration lourde, manque de type safety, utilisation de clés magiques dans les prompts La version Embabel nécessite moins de code Java que l'original Python et moins de fichiers de configuration YAML Embabel apporte la type safety complète, éliminant les erreurs de frappe dans les prompts et améliorant l'outillage IDE La gestion de la concurrence est mieux contrôlée en Java pour éviter les limites de débit des APIs LLM L'intégration avec Spring permet une configuration externe simple des modèles LLM et hyperparamètres Le planificateur Embabel détermine automatiquement l'ordre d'exécution des actions basé sur leurs types requis L'argument principal : l'écosystème JVM offre un meilleur modèle de programmation et accès à la logique métier existante que Python Il y a pas mal de nouveaux framework agentic en Java, notamment le dernier LAngchain4j Agentic Spring lance un serie de blog posts sur les nouveautés de Spring Boot 4 https://spring.io/blog/2025/09/02/road_to_ga_introduction baseline JDK 17 mais rebase sur Jakarta 11 Kotlin 2, Jackson 3 et JUnit 6 Fonctionnalités de résilience principales de Spring : @ConcurrencyLimit, @Retryable, RetryTemplate Versioning d'API dans Spring Améliorations du client de service HTTP L'état des clients HTTP dans Spring Introduction du support Jackson 3 dans Spring Consommateur partagé - les queues Kafka dans Spring Kafka Modularisation de Spring Boot Autorisation progressive dans Spring Security Spring gRPC - un nouveau module Spring Boot Applications null-safe avec Spring Boot 4 OpenTelemetry avec Spring Boot Repos Ahead of Time (Partie 2) Web Faire de la recherche sémantique directement dans le navigateur en local, avec EmbeddingGemma et Transformers.js https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/09/08/in-browser-semantic-search-with-embeddinggemma/ EmbeddingGemma: Nouveau modèle d'embedding (308M paramètres) de Google DeepMind. Objectif: Permettre la recherche sémantique directement dans le navigateur. Avantages clés de l'IA côté client: Confidentialité: Aucune donnée envoyée à un serveur. Coûts réduits: Pas besoin de serveurs coûteux (GPU), hébergement statique. Faible latence: Traitement instantané sans allers-retours réseau. Fonctionnement hors ligne: Possible après le chargement initial du modèle. Technologie principale: Modèle: EmbeddingGemma (petit, performant, multilingue, support MRL pour réduire la taille des vecteurs). Moteur d'inférence: Transformers.js de HuggingFace (exécute les modèles AI en JavaScript dans le navigateur). Déploiement: Site statique avec Vite/React/Tailwind CSS, déployé sur Firebase Hosting via GitHub Actions. Gestion du modèle: Fichiers du modèle trop lourds pour Git; téléchargés depuis HuggingFace Hub pendant le CI/CD. Fonctionnement de l'app: Charge le modèle, génère des embeddings pour requêtes/documents, calcule la similarité sémantique. Conclusion: Démonstration d'une recherche sémantique privée, économique et sans serveur, soulignant le potentiel de l'IA embarquée dans le navigateur. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Docker lance Cagent, une sorte de framework multi-agent IA utilisant des LLMs externes, des modèles de Docker Model Runner, avec le Docker MCP Tookit. Il propose un format YAML pour décrire les agents d'un système multi-agents. https://github.com/docker/cagent des agents “prompt driven” (pas de code) et une structure pour decrire comment ils sont deployés pas clair comment ils sont appelés a part dans la ligne de commande de cagent fait par david gageot L'owasp décrit l'independance excessive des LLM comme une vulnerabilité https://genai.owasp.org/llmrisk2023-24/llm08-excessive-agency/ L'agence excessive désigne la vulnérabilité qui permet aux systèmes LLM d'effectuer des actions dommageables via des sorties inattendues ou ambiguës. Elle résulte de trois causes principales : fonctionnalités excessives, permissions excessives ou autonomie excessive des agents LLM. Les fonctionnalités excessives incluent l'accès à des plugins qui offrent plus de capacités que nécessaire, comme un plugin de lecture qui peut aussi modifier ou supprimer. Les permissions excessives se manifestent quand un plugin accède aux systèmes avec des droits trop élevés, par exemple un accès en lecture qui inclut aussi l'écriture. L'autonomie excessive survient quand le système effectue des actions critiques sans validation humaine préalable. Un scénario d'attaque typique : un assistant personnel avec accès email peut être manipulé par injection de prompt pour envoyer du spam via la boîte de l'utilisateur. La prévention implique de limiter strictement les plugins aux fonctions minimales nécessaires pour l'opération prévue. Il faut éviter les fonctions ouvertes comme “exécuter une commande shell” au profit d'outils plus granulaires et spécifiques. L'application du principe de moindre privilège est cruciale : chaque plugin doit avoir uniquement les permissions minimales requises. Le contrôle humain dans la boucle reste essentiel pour valider les actions à fort impact avant leur exécution. Lancement du MCP registry, une sorte de méta-annuaire officiel pour référencer les serveurs MCP https://www.marktechpost.com/2025/09/09/mcp-team-launches-the-preview-version-of-the-mcp-registry-a-federated-discovery-layer-for-enterprise-ai/ MCP Registry : Couche de découverte fédérée pour l'IA d'entreprise. Fonctionne comme le DNS pour le contexte de l'IA, permettant la découverte de serveurs MCP publics ou privés. Modèle fédéré : Évite les risques de sécurité et de conformité d'un registre monolithique. Permet des sous-registres privés tout en conservant une source de vérité “upstream”. Avantages entreprises : Découverte interne sécurisée. Gouvernance centralisée des serveurs externes. Réduction de la prolifération des contextes. Support pour les agents IA hybrides (données privées/publiques). Projet open source, actuellement en version preview. Blog post officiel : https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2025-09-08-mcp-registry-preview/ Exploration des internals du transaction log SQL Server https://debezium.io/blog/2025/09/08/sqlserver-tx-log/ C'est un article pour les rugeux qui veulent savoir comment SQLServer marche à l'interieur Debezium utilise actuellement les change tables de SQL Server CDC en polling périodique L'article explore la possibilité de parser directement le transaction log pour améliorer les performances Le transaction log est divisé en Virtual Log Files (VLFs) utilisés de manière circulaire Chaque VLF contient des blocs (512B à 60KB) qui contiennent les records de transactions Chaque record a un Log Sequence Number (LSN) unique pour l'identifier précisément Les données sont stockées dans des pages de 8KB avec header de 96 bytes et offset array Les tables sont organisées en partitions et allocation units pour gérer l'espace disque L'utilitaire DBCC permet d'explorer la structure interne des pages et leur contenu Cette compréhension pose les bases pour parser programmatiquement le transaction log dans un prochain article Outillage Les personalités des codeurs des différents LLMs https://www.sonarsource.com/blog/the-coding-personalities-of-leading-llms-gpt-5-update/ GPT-5 minimal ne détrône pas Claude Sonnet 4 comme leader en performance fonctionnelle malgré ses 75% de réussite GPT-5 génère un code extrêmement verbeux avec 490 000 lignes contre 370 000 pour Claude Sonnet 4 sur les mêmes tâches La complexité cyclomatique et cognitive du code GPT-5 est dramatiquement plus élevée que tous les autres modèles GPT-5 introduit 3,90 problèmes par tâche réussie contre seulement 2,11 pour Claude Sonnet 4 Point fort de GPT-5 : sécurité exceptionnelle avec seulement 0,12 vulnérabilité par 1000 lignes de code Faiblesse majeure : densité très élevée de “code smells” (25,28 par 1000 lignes) nuisant à la maintenabilité GPT-5 produit 12% de problèmes liés à la complexité cognitive, le taux le plus élevé de tous les modèles Tendance aux erreurs logiques fondamentales avec 24% de bugs de type “Control-flow mistake” Réapparition de vulnérabilités classiques comme les failles d'injection et de traversée de chemin Nécessité d'une gouvernance renforcée avec analyse statique obligatoire pour gérer la complexité du code généré Pourquoi j'ai abandonné Docker pour Podman https://codesmash.dev/why-i-ditched-docker-for-podman-and-you-should-too Problème Docker : Le daemon dockerd persistant s'exécute avec des privilèges root, posant des risques de sécurité (nombreuses CVEs citées) et consommant des ressources inutilement. Solution Podman : Sans Daemon : Pas de processus d'arrière-plan persistant. Les conteneurs s'exécutent comme des processus enfants de la commande Podman, sous les privilèges de l'utilisateur. Sécurité Renforcée : Réduction de la surface d'attaque. Une évasion de conteneur compromet un utilisateur non privilégié sur l'hôte, pas le système entier. Mode rootless. Fiabilité Accrue : Pas de point de défaillance unique ; le crash d'un conteneur n'affecte pas les autres. Moins de Ressources : Pas de daemon constamment actif, donc moins de mémoire et de CPU. Fonctionnalités Clés de Podman : Intégration Systemd : Génération automatique de fichiers d'unité systemd pour gérer les conteneurs comme des services Linux standards. Alignement Kubernetes : Support natif des pods et capacité à générer des fichiers Kubernetes YAML directement (podman generate kube), facilitant le développement local pour K8s. Philosophie Unix : Se concentre sur l'exécution des conteneurs, délègue les tâches spécialisées à des outils dédiés (ex: Buildah pour la construction d'images, Skopeo pour leur gestion). Migration Facile : CLI compatible Docker : podman utilise les mêmes commandes que docker (alias docker=podman fonctionne). Les Dockerfiles existants sont directement utilisables. Améliorations incluses : Sécurité par défaut (ports privilégiés en mode rootless), meilleure gestion des permissions de volume, API Docker compatible optionnelle. Option de convertir Docker Compose en Kubernetes YAML. Bénéfices en Production : Sécurité améliorée, utilisation plus propre des ressources. Podman représente une évolution plus sécurisée et mieux alignée avec les pratiques modernes de gestion Linux et de déploiement de conteneurs. Guide Pratique (Exemple FastAPI) : Le Dockerfile ne change pas. podman build et podman run remplacent directement les commandes Docker. Déploiement en production via Systemd. Gestion d'applications multi-services avec les “pods” Podman. Compatibilité Docker Compose via podman-compose ou kompose. Détection améliorée des APIs vulnérables dans les IDEs JetBrains et Qodana - https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/09/enhanced-vulnerable-api-detection-in-jetbrains-ides-and-qodana/ JetBrains s'associe avec Mend.io pour renforcer la sécurité du code dans leurs outils Le plugin Package Checker bénéficie de nouvelles données enrichies sur les APIs vulnérables Analyse des graphes d'appels pour couvrir plus de méthodes publiques des bibliothèques open-source Support de Java, Kotlin, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript et Python pour la détection de vulnérabilités Activation des inspections via Paramètres > Editor > Inspections en recherchant “Vulnerable API” Surlignage automatique des méthodes vulnérables avec détails des failles au survol Action contextuelle pour naviguer directement vers la déclaration de dépendance problématique Mise à jour automatique vers une version non affectée via Alt+Enter sur la dépendance Fenêtre dédiée “Vulnerable Dependencies” pour voir l'état global des vulnérabilités du projet Méthodologies Le retour de du sondage de Stack Overflow sur l'usage de l'IA dans le code https://medium.com/@amareshadak/stack-overflow-just-exposed-the-ugly-truth-about-ai-coding-tools-b4f7b5992191 84% des développeurs utilisent l'IA quotidiennement, mais 46% ne font pas confiance aux résultats. Seulement 3,1% font “hautement confiance” au code généré. 66% sont frustrés par les solutions IA “presque correctes”. 45% disent que déboguer le code IA prend plus de temps que l'écrire soi-même. Les développeurs seniors (10+ ans) font moins confiance à l'IA (2,6%) que les débutants (6,1%), créant un écart de connaissances dangereux. Les pays occidentaux montrent moins de confiance - Allemagne (22%), UK (23%), USA (28%) - que l'Inde (56%). Les créateurs d'outils IA leur font moins confiance. 77% des développeurs professionnels rejettent la programmation en langage naturel, seuls 12% l'utilisent réellement. Quand l'IA échoue, 75% se tournent vers les humains. 35% des visites Stack Overflow concernent maintenant des problèmes liés à l'IA. 69% rapportent des gains de productivité personnels, mais seulement 17% voient une amélioration de la collaboration d'équipe. Coûts cachés : temps de vérification, explication du code IA aux équipes, refactorisation et charge cognitive constante.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit an earlier conversation: “Building a Strong Developer Toolkit – Enhancing Skills and Productivity.” This time, they explore how AI and modern practices shape the discussion. The takeaway: enhancing developer productivity isn't just about tools—it's about habits, problem-solving, and continuous growth.

Começamos provocando: mais visibilidade sempre ajuda? Partimos de um caso real para discutir por que dashboards sem ação só empilham problemas. Falamos de ruído de alertas, thresholds mal calibrados e cultura de “ver tudo” que, sem priorização, não move o ponteiro.Na sequência, entramos na parte estratégica: apetite de risco, ownership e quem tem o crachá para dizer “vai” ou “não vai”. Trazemos exemplos contrastando setores (financeiro vs. saúde), impacto no negócio e como isso redefine criticidade, SLAs e o que é “aceitável” em produção.Fechamos com prática de campo: shift left de verdade (não é “rodar o Sonar e pronto”), modelagem de ameaças para começar pelo básico certo (acesso, hardening, atualização), e o papel de Kubernetes na jornada em que o foco volta para o produto — com priorização inteligente, e não caça a balas de prata.Links Importantes:- Caroline Assunção - https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-assuncao/- João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn- Assista ao FilmeTEArapia - https://youtu.be/M4QFmW_HZh0?si=HIXBDWZJ8yPbpflMO Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

Updating developer tools is essential for developers who want to stay efficient, secure, and competitive. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how maintaining modern toolsets helps individuals and teams deliver better software, faster. With support from AI-generated analysis and real-world experience, they outline the risks of falling behind—and how to move forward. Listen to the full episode of Building Better Developers with AI for practical insights and ideas you can start applying today. Efficiency and Profitability When Updating Developer Tools AI captured the core message well: using outdated tools slows down delivery, creates unnecessary friction, and ultimately reduces profitability. For side hustlers and teams alike, this loss of efficiency can make or break a project. Rob pointed out that many developers begin their careers using only basic tools. Without proper exposure to modern IDEs like IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, or Eclipse, they miss out on powerful features such as debugging tools, plugin support, container integration, and real-time collaboration. Warning Signs You Should Be Updating Developer Tools How do you know it's time to update your development tools? Rob and Michael discussed key red flags: Frequent crashes or poor performance Lack of support for modern languages or frameworks Weak integration with tools like GitHub Actions or Docker Outdated or unsupported plugins Inconsistent tooling across team members Neglecting to update developer tools can lead to slow onboarding, poor collaboration, and increased bugs—especially in fast-paced or regulated environments. Tool Standardization vs. Flexibility When Updating Tools There's a balance between letting developers choose their tools and ensuring consistency across a team. While personal comfort can boost productivity, it may also cause challenges when teams debug or collaborate. Rob and Michael recommend hosting internal hackathons to explore new toolchains or standardize workflows. These events give teams a structured way to evaluate tools and share findings. The Security Risk of Not Updating Developer Tools Michael highlighted that outdated tooling doesn't just slow developers down—it creates serious security and compliance risks. Being just one or two versions behind can open vulnerabilities that violate standards like HIPPA, OWASP or SOX. Regular updates to SDKs, plugins, and IDEs are essential for staying compliant, especially in sensitive industries like finance or healthcare. How to Evaluate New Tools Before Updating Developer Toolchains Rob offered a practical framework for evaluating new tools: Does it solve a real pain point? Start with a side project or proof of concept. Check for strong community support and documentation. Balance between stable and innovative. Michael added a note of caution: avoid adopting tools with little community activity or long-term support. If a GitHub project has only a couple of contributors and poor maintenance, it's a red flag. Developer Tools to Review and Update Regularly To keep your development environment current, Rob suggested reviewing these tool categories often: IDEs and code editors Version control tools CI/CD systems and build automation Testing and QA frameworks Package managers and dependency systems Containerization and environment management platforms Using AI to convert simple apps into different frameworks can also help evaluate new tools—just make sure not to share proprietary code. Final Thoughts Modern development demands modern tooling. From cleaner code to faster deployment and stronger team collaboration, the benefits of updating developer tools are clear. Whether you're an independent developer or part of a larger organization, regularly reviewing and upgrading your toolset is a habit worth forming.

In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Maria Mora, Staff Application Security Engineer and active OWASP lifetime member, shares how her experience at the OWASP AppSec Global conference in Barcelona has reaffirmed the power of community in security. While many attendees chase back-to-back talks and technical training, Maria highlights something often overlooked—connection. Whether at the member lounge ping-pong table, during late-night beach meetups, or over keynote reflections, it's the relationships and shared purpose that make this event resonate.Maria emphasizes how her own journey into OWASP began with uncertainty but evolved into a meaningful path of participation. Through volunteering, serving on the events committee, and mentoring others, she has expanded not only her technical toolkit but also her ability to collaborate and communicate—skills she notes are essential in InfoSec but rarely prioritized. By stepping into the OWASP community, she's learned that you don't need decades of experience to contribute—just a willingness to start.Keynotes and sessions this year reinforced a similar message: security isn't just about hard skills. It's about bridging academia and industry, engaging first-time attendees, and creating welcoming spaces where no one feels like an outsider. Talks like Sarah Jané's encouraged attendees to find their own ways to give back, whether by submitting to the call for papers, helping with logistics, or simply sparking hallway conversations.Maria also points to how OWASP structures participation to make it accessible. Through demo rooms, project hubs, and informal lounge chats, attendees find ways to contribute to global initiatives like the OWASP Top 10 or volunteer-led trainings. Whether it's your first conference or your tenth, there's always room to jump in.For Maria, OWASP no longer feels like a secret club—it's a growing, open collective focused on helping people bring their best selves to security. That's the power of community: not just lifting up software, but lifting up each other.And for those thinking of taking the next step, Maria reminds us that the call for papers for OWASP DC is open through June 24th. As she puts it, “We all have something valuable to share—sometimes you just need the nudge to start.”GUEST: Maria Mora | Staff Application Security Engineer and OWASP events committee member | https://www.linkedin.com/in/riamaria/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn 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 On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Sean Martin connects with event speaker, Wojciech Dworakowski, to unpack a critical and underexamined issue in today's financial systems: the vulnerability of mobile-only banking apps when it comes to transaction authorization.Wojciech points out that modern banking has embraced the mobile-first model—sometimes at the cost of fundamental security principles. Most banks now concentrate transaction initiation, security configuration, and transaction authorization into a single device: the user's smartphone. While this offers unmatched convenience, it also creates a single point of failure. If an attacker successfully pairs their phone with a victim's account, they can bypass multiple layers of security, often without needing traditional credentials.The discussion explores the limitations of relying solely on biometric options like Face ID or Touch ID. These conveniences may appear secure but often weaken the overall security posture when used without additional independent verification mechanisms. Wojciech outlines how common attack strategies have shifted from stealing credit card numbers to full account takeover—enabled by social engineering and weak device-pairing controls.He proposes a “raise the bar” strategy rather than relying on a single silver-bullet solution. Suggestions include enhanced device fingerprinting, detection of emulators or rooted environments, and shared interbank databases for device reputation and account pairing anomalies. While some of these are already in motion under new EU and UK regulations, they remain fragmented.Wojciech also introduces a bold idea: giving users a slider in the app to adjust their personal balance of convenience vs. security. This kind of usability-driven approach could empower users while still offering layered defense.For CISOs, developers, and FinTech leaders, the message is clear—evaluate your app security as if attackers already know the shortcuts. Watch the full conversation to hear Wojciech's real-world examples, including a cautionary tale from his own family.

In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Aram Hovsepyan, an active contributor to the OWASP SAMM project, brings a critical perspective to how the industry approaches security metrics, especially in vulnerability management. His message is clear: the way we collect and use metrics needs a serious rethink if we want to make real progress in reducing risk.Too often, organizations rely on readily available tool-generated metrics—like vulnerability counts—without pausing to ask what those numbers actually mean in context. These metrics may look impressive in a dashboard or board report, but as Aram points out, they're often disconnected from business goals. Worse, they can drive the wrong behaviors, such as trying to reduce raw vulnerability counts without considering exploitability or actual impact.Aram emphasizes the importance of starting with organizational goals, formulating questions that reflect progress toward those goals, and only then identifying metrics that provide meaningful answers. It's a research-backed approach that has been known for decades but is often ignored in favor of convenience.False positives, inflated dashboards, and a lack of alignment between metrics and strategy are recurring issues. Aram notes that many tools err on the side of overreporting to avoid false negatives, which leads to overwhelming—and often irrelevant—volumes of data. In some cases, up to 80% of identified vulnerabilities may be false positives, leaving security teams drowning in noise and chasing issues that may not matter.What's missing, he argues, is a strategic lens. Vulnerability management should be one component of a broader application security program, not the centerpiece. The OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) offers a framework for evaluating and improving across a range of practices—strategy, risk analysis, and threat modeling among them—that collectively support better decision-making.To move forward, organizations need to stop treating vulnerability data as a performance metric and start treating it as a signal in a larger conversation about risk, impact, and architectural choices. Aram's call to action is simple: ask better questions, use tools more purposefully, and build security strategies that actually serve the business.GUEST: Aram Hovsepyan | OWASP SAMM Project Core Team member and CEO/Founder at CODIFIC | https://www.linkedin.com/in/aramhovsep/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn 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 On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Sarah-Jane Madden brings a unique lens to application security, shaped by her journey from developer to security leader and CSO. Speaking at OWASP AppSec Global, she tackles one of today's most pressing concerns: how AI is reshaping software engineering—and how we must respond without compromising core values like quality and security.Madden emphasizes that AI is only the latest in a series of major disruptions, comparing it to shifts like remote work triggered by COVID. Her message is clear: organizations must prepare for continuous change, not just chase the current trend. That means prioritizing adaptability and ensuring critical practices like application security are not sacrificed in the rush to speed up delivery.She makes the case for a layered, iterative approach to development—rejecting the outdated linear mindset. Developers, she argues, should leverage AI as an accelerator, not a replacement. Think of AI as your digital intern: handling the drudgery, automating boilerplate code, and even applying internal security standards to code before it reaches human hands. This frees developers to focus on creative problem-solving and thoughtful architecture.However, Madden cautions against blind enthusiasm. While experimentation is healthy, organizations must be discerning about outcomes. Speed is meaningless without quality, and quality includes security. She calls on developers to advocate for high standards and reminds business leaders not to fall for the allure of shortcut statistics or flashy claims that promise results without skilled labor. Her analogy of microwave dinners vs. proper cuisine illustrates the risk of prioritizing convenience over substance—especially in complex problem-solving environments.For line-of-business leaders, Madden urges realistic expectations. AI can enhance productivity, but it doesn't eliminate the need for thoughtful development. Ultimately, customers will notice if quality drops, and reputational damage is hard to undo.In closing, Madden celebrates OWASP as more than an organization—it's a source of support, camaraderie, and genuine community for those working to build secure, reliable systems. Her message? Embrace change, use tools wisely, protect your standards, and never forget the human side of engineering.GUEST: Sarah-Jane Madden | Global Director of Cyber Defense at Fortive | https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahjanemadden/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn 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 On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Starr Brown, Director of Open Source Projects and Programs at OWASP, unpacks the real engine behind the organization's impact: the projects and the people driving them forward.With over 130 active projects, OWASP continues to expand its open source contributions to improve software security across the board. While the OWASP Top 10 remains its most recognized initiative, Starr points out that it's just one among many. Other significant projects include the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM), and the increasingly popular security games like Cornucopia, which use gamification to bring security concepts into business conversations and development workflows.AI is playing an increasingly prominent role in OWASP's work. Starr highlights the GenAI Security Project as a focal point, encompassing tools and guidance for LLM use, agentic AI, red teaming, and more. The scale of community engagement is equally impressive: around 33,000 people are active on Slack, and hundreds contribute to individual initiatives, reflecting the organization's truly global and grassroots structure.Beyond tools and documentation, OWASP is influencing regulation and policy through initiatives like the AI Exchange and the Transparency Exchange. These projects connect with government entities and standards bodies such as the European Commission and CEN/CENELEC to help shape responsible governance frameworks around software, AI, and cybersecurity.Listeners also get a glimpse into what's ahead. From upcoming events in Washington, D.C., to the OWASP Community Room at DEF CON in Las Vegas, the goal is to keep fostering connections and hands-on engagement. These gatherings not only showcase flagship tools and frameworks but create space for open dialogue, prototyping, and collaboration—whether you're breaking things or building them.To get involved, Starr encourages exploring the OWASP Projects page and joining their Slack community. The conversation makes it clear: OWASP is not just a collection of tools—it's a living, breathing network of contributors shaping the future of secure software.GUEST: Starr Brown | Director of Open Source Projects and Programs at OWASP | https://www.linkedin.com/in/starr-brown-8837547/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn 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?

Jim Manico's passion for secure coding has always been rooted in deeply technical practices—methods that matter most to developers writing code day in and day out. At OWASP Global AppSec EU 2025 Conference in Barcelona, Manico brings that same precision and care to a broader conversation around the intersection of application security and artificial intelligence.While many are still just beginning to assess how AI impacts application development, Manico has been preparing for this moment for years. Two and a half years ago, he saw a shift—traditional low-level technical bugs were being mitigated effectively by mature organizations. The new challenge? Business logic flaws and access control issues that scanners can't easily detect. This change signaled a new direction, prompting him to dive into AI security long before it became fashionable.Now, Manico is delivering AI-flavored AppSec training, helping developers understand the risks of insecure code generated by large language models. His research shows that even the best AI coding tools—from Claude to Copilot—still generate insecure code out of the box. That's where his work becomes transformative: by developing detailed, framework-specific prompts grounded in decades of secure coding knowledge, he has trained these tools to write safer code, using React, Django, Vue, and more.Beyond teaching, he's building. With 200 volunteers, he's leading the creation of the Artificial Intelligence Security Verification Standard (AISVS), a new OWASP project inspired by the well-known Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS). Generated with both AI and human collaboration, the AISVS already has a v0.1 release and aims for a major update by summer.For Manico, this isn't just a technical evolution—it's a personal renaissance. His deep catalog of secure coding techniques, once used primarily for human education, is now fueling a new generation of AI-assisted development. And he's just getting started.This episode isn't just about where AppSec is going. It's a call to developers and security professionals to rethink how we teach, how we build, and how we can use AI to enhance—not endanger—the software we create.Learn more about Manicode: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Jim Manico, Founder and Secure Coding Educator at Manicode Security | On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmanico/ResourcesJim's OWASP Session: https://owasp2025globalappseceu.sched.com/event/1wfpM/leveraging-ai-for-secure-react-development-with-effective-prompt-engineeringDownload the Course Catalog: https://itspm.ag/manicode-x684Learn more and catch more stories from Manicode Security: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/manicode-securityAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-storyKeywords: jim manico, sean martin, appsec, ai, owasp, securecoding, developers, aisvs, training, react, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast

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?

During the upcoming OWASP Global AppSec EU in Barcelona, Spyros Gasteratos, long-time OWASP contributor and co-founder of Smithy, to explore how automation, collaboration, and community resources are shaping the future of application security. Spyros shares the foundation of his talk at OWASP AppSec Global: building a DevSecOps program from scratch using existing community tools—blending technical guidance with a celebration of open-source achievements.Spyros emphasizes that true progress in security stems not from an ever-growing stack of tools, but from aligning the humans behind them. According to him, security failures often stem from fragmented information and misaligned incentives across teams. His solution? Bring the teams together with a shared, streamlined flow of information and automate wherever possible to reduce wasted cycles and miscommunication.At the core of Spyros' philosophy is the need to turn AppSec from a blocker into a builder. Rather than overwhelming developers with endless bug reports, or security leaders with red dashboards, programs need to reflect the actual risk appetite of the business—prioritizing issues dynamically based on impact, timing, and operational goals. He challenges the one-size-fits-all approach, advocating instead for tagging systems that defer certain risks and encode organizational priorities in automation logic.A major part of that transformation lies in Smithy, the platform he's helping build. It's designed to be “Zapier for security”—an automation engine rooted in open-source standards that allows for custom workflows without creating a tangle of fragile scripts. The idea is to let teams focus on what's unique to them, while relying on battle-tested components for the rest.Looking ahead, Spyros doesn't buy into the doom-and-gloom narrative about AI limiting developer creativity. On the contrary, he argues that AI-enabled coding frees up cognitive space for better architecture and secure design thinking. In his view, creativity doesn't die—it just shifts from syntax to strategy.This episode is more than a discussion—it's a blueprint for how teams can rally around a common goal, and how OWASP's community can be the catalyst. Tune in to hear how open-source, automation, and human alignment are redefining AppSec from the ground up.GUEST: Spyros Gasteratos | OpenCRE co-lead and Founder of smithy.security | https://www.linkedin.com/in/spyr/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESSpyros' Session: A completely pluggable DevSecOps programme, for free, using community resources (https://owasp2025globalappseceu.sched.com/event/1whCB/a-completely-pluggable-devsecops-programme-for-free-using-community-resources)Learn more and catch more stories from OWASP Global AppSec EU 2025 Conference 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?

The introduction of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) marks a major shift for the software industry: for the first time, manufacturers are being held accountable for the cybersecurity of their products. Olle E. Johansson, a long-time open source developer and contributor to the Asterisk PBX project, explains how this new regulation reshapes the role of software creators and introduces the need for transparency across the entire supply chain.In this episode, Johansson breaks down the complexity of today's software supply ecosystems—where manufacturers rely heavily on open source components, and end users struggle to identify vulnerabilities buried deep in third-party dependencies. With the CRA in place, the burden now falls on manufacturers to not only track but also report on the components in their products. That includes actively communicating which vulnerabilities affect users—and which do not.To make this manageable, Johansson introduces the Transparency Exchange API (TEA), a project rooted in the OWASP CycloneDX standard. What started as a simple Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) delivery mechanism has evolved into a broader platform for sharing vulnerability information, attestations, documentation, and even cryptographic data necessary for the post-quantum transition. Standardizing this API through Ecma International is a major step toward a scalable, automated supply chain security infrastructure.The episode also highlights the importance of automation and shared data formats in enabling companies to react quickly to threats like Log4j. Johansson notes that, historically, security teams spent countless hours manually assessing whether they were affected by a specific vulnerability. The Transparency Exchange API aims to change that by automating the entire feedback loop from developer to manufacturer to end user.Although still in beta, the project is gaining traction with organizations like the Apache Foundation integrating it into their release processes. Johansson emphasizes that community feedback is essential and invites listeners to engage through GitHub to help shape the project's future.For Johansson, OWASP stands for global knowledge and collaboration in application security. As Europe's regulatory influence grows, initiatives like this are essential to build a stronger, more accountable software ecosystem.GUEST: Olle E Johansson | Co-Founder, SBOM Europe | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ollejohansson/HOST:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESCycloneDX/transparency-exchange-api on GitHub: https://github.com/CycloneDX/transparency-exchange-apiVIDEO: The Cyber Resilience Act: How the EU is Reshaping Digital Product Security | With Sarah Fluchs: https://youtu.be/c30eG5kzqnYLearn 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?

During the upcoming OWASP Global AppSec EU in Barcelona, Kate Labunets, a cybersecurity researcher focused on human factors and usable security, takes the stage to confront a disconnect that too often holds the industry back: the gap between academic research and real-world cybersecurity practice.In her keynote, “Outside the Ivory Tower: Connecting Practice and Science,” Kate invites practitioners to reconsider their relationship with academic research—not as something removed from their daily reality, but as a vital tool that can lead to better decisions, more targeted security programs, and improved organizational resilience.Drawing from her current research, Kate shares how interviews and surveys with employees reveal the hidden motivations behind the use of shadow IT—tools and technologies adopted without formal approval. These aren't simply acts of rebellion or ignorance. They reflect misalignments between human behavior, workplace needs, and policy communication. By understanding these mindsets, organizations can move beyond one-size-fits-all training and begin designing interventions grounded in evidence.This is where science meets practice. Kate's work isn't about generating abstract theories. It's about applying research methods—like anonymous interviews and behavior-focused surveys—to surface insights that security leaders can act on. But for this to happen, researchers need access, and that depends on building trust with practitioners.The keynote also raises a critical point about time. In industries like medicine, the gap between a published discovery and its application in the real world can be 15 years. Kate argues that cybersecurity faces a similar delay, citing the example of multi-factor authentication: patented in 1998, but still not universally adopted today. Her goal is to accelerate this timeline by helping practitioners see themselves as contributors to science—not just consumers of its outcomes.By inviting companies to participate in research and engage with universities, Kate's message is clear: collaboration benefits everyone. The path to smarter, more human-aligned cybersecurity isn't gated behind academic walls. It's open to any team curious enough to ask better questions—and brave enough to challenge assumptions.GUEST: Kate Labunets | Assistant Professor (UD1) in Cyber Security at Utrecht University | https://www.linkedin.com/in/klabunets/HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelliSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESKate's Session: https://owasp2025globalappseceu.sched.com/event/1v86U/keynote-outside-the-ivory-tower-connecting-practice-and-scienceLearn 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?

At OWASP AppSec Global in Barcelona, the focus is clear: building secure software with and for the community. But it's not just about code or compliance. As Avi Douglen, OWASP Foundation board member, describes it, this gathering is a “hot tub” experience in contrast to the overwhelming scale of mega conferences. It's warm, immersive, and welcoming—designed for people who want to contribute, connect, and create.OWASP is more than just another security organization. It's a community-driven foundation that enables builders, breakers, defenders, and leaders to come together in pursuit of secure product development. This year's conference reflects that same inclusive energy. Whether you're a software engineer, architect, DevOps professional, security champion, or product manager, the sessions and networking spaces are built to meet you where you are—and help you grow.Beyond the BuzzwordsUnsurprisingly, AI will have a strong presence this year. But the conversations aren't limited to hype. Two flagship OWASP projects now focus on AI and LLMs—one on securing applications that use AI, the other on building secure AI systems themselves. Talks will unpack familiar problems in new contexts, like prompt injection mirroring the dynamics of older injection vulnerabilities. In other words: the technology shifts, but the core principles remain relevant.Diverse Tracks, Real ConversationsAttendees can engage across five curated tracks: builders, breakers, defenders, managers & culture, and project showcases. Topics range from threat modeling and DevSecOps to scaling security programs and fostering team culture. A dedicated training program, including hands-on sessions in secure coding and security champions, ensures practical takeaways—not just theory.Plus, the event embraces connection. A newcomer orientation, Women in AppSec gathering, hallway chats, evening socials, and even speed mentoring sessions all contribute to a vibrant, accessible experience where everyone—from seasoned leaders to curious newcomers—can find their place.A Truly Global CommunityWith participants flying in from all corners of the world, OWASP AppSec Global lives up to its name. The conversations, relationships, and tools that emerge from this event ripple far beyond Barcelona. If you build, secure, or manage software, this is one conference where showing up matters—not just for what you'll learn, but for who you'll meet.__________________________________Guest: Avi Douglen | Global Board of Directors at OWASP Foundation & Founder and CEO at Bounce Securityhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/avidouglen/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode's SponsorsManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8i____________________________ResourcesLearn 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-spain____________________________Catch 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?
