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 episode, Dani chats with Mishi's client Tatum, who shares her recovery story. Though she never identified with having an eating disorder, Tatum realized her rigid food rules, exercise habits, and loss of her period were signs something was off.

Her story is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just physical—it's mental and emotional too.Recovery also helped Tatum reconnect with her passion for music. She even wrote and recorded a song called "Running," which reflects her journey through restrictive eating, overexercising, and HA recovery.The song is called "Running".Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0dBQTGSE6WnuS5EHhDy30T?si=e1c6dbaa5eeb43e0Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/album/running/1797804839?i=1797804842Follow Tatum and her music!https://www.instagram.com/tatumtreffeisenJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

How are we rewriting the narrative around men's mental health challenges and solutions? In today's ever-changing landscape of mental health awareness, there is a growing recognition that the narrative around men's mental health needs a significant rewrite. It is a tale of strength found in vulnerability, of support forged in humor, and solutions inspired by empathy. Anson Whitmer, Founder of Mental, a mental health app designed for men, emphasizes the necessity of tailored solutions for men, acknowledging their unique emotional challenges and the societal pressures that often deter them from seeking help.  By addressing the unique stressors and pressures men face, his approach not only redefines the narrative around men's mental health but also instills a sense of empowerment. His visionary perspective demonstrates that addressing men's emotional well-being is not just about offering help; it's about ushering in a new era where men can unabashedly confront their challenges and emerge stronger. In this enlightening episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius engages in a profound conversation with Anson, where they talk about how this groundbreaking Mental app is revolutionizing the landscape of men's mental health. This episode redefines how we perceive and approach men's mental health, reinforcing the idea that seeking help is an empowering step toward personal growth and well-being. Topics include: What motivated Anson to work in the mental health field Anson talks about the Calm and Mental apps and what they focus on Anson explains how most men view meditation The importance of training the mind to handle stress and negative self-talk Meditation as a tool to achieve personal growth and improvement Anson discusses how men tend to deal with emotional struggles Stoicism and its practicality in helping people change their perspectives on life How the COVID-19 pandemic affect the usage of mental health apps Anson explains Get Mental app and its features And other topics… Connect with Anson: Website: http://getmental.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ansonwhitmer/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thementalapp/  Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoompdarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsored by: Brevo: Get started free or save 50% for 3 months with code GREATNESS at brevo.com/greatness.  Huel: Try Huel with 15% OFF + Free Gift for New Customers today using my code greatness at https://huel.com/greatness.

In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, Sean Martin is joined by Frida Torkelsen, a Solution Architect, and Maged Helmy, a professor of AI, to explore how law firms and in-house counsel are applying AI agents to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and unlock strategic capabilities—while navigating critical privacy and security concerns.Frida explains how large firms are seeking to extract value from their troves of historical legal data through bespoke AI agents designed to automate workflows and improve institutional knowledge sharing. Smaller firms, on the other hand, benefit by building narrow, purpose-driven agents that automate core functions and give them a tactical edge. This democratization of capability—fueled by faster iteration and reduced development cost—could be a strategic win for niche firms that are disciplined in their focus.Maged emphasizes the architectural shift AI agents introduce. Unlike static queries to large language models with fixed knowledge, agents access tools, data, and live systems to execute tasks dynamically. This expands the use case potential—but also the risk. Because agentic systems operate probabilistically, consistent outputs aren't guaranteed, and testing becomes more about evaluating outcomes across a range of inputs than expecting deterministic results.Security risk looms large. Maged shares how a single oversight in permissions allowed an agent to make system-wide changes that corrupted his environment. Frida cautions against over-permissive access, noting that agents tapping into shared calendars or HR databases must respect internal boundaries and compliance obligations. Both guests agree that human-in-the-loop validation is essential, especially in environments with strict data governance needs.Law firms must reassess both internal information architecture and team readiness before implementing agentic systems. Start with a clear understanding of the business problem, validate access scopes, and track outcomes for accuracy, speed, and cost. Legal tech teams are forming around these efforts, but success will depend on whether these roles stay grounded in solving specific legal problems—not chasing the latest AI trend.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥Newsletter: The Law's Great Recalibration: Inside the Tech-Driven Puzzle of Legal Firm Transformation: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/laws-great-recalibration-inside-tech-driven-puzzle-sean-martin-cissp-clnoe/⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

What happens when the world's most powerful AI systems are measured by the same yardstick? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I spoke with David Kanter, Founder and Executive Director of MLCommons, the organization behind MLPerf, the industry's most recognized benchmark for AI performance. As AI continues to outpace Moore's Law, businesses and governments alike are asking the same question: how do we know what “good” AI performance really looks like? That's exactly the challenge MLCommons set out to address. David shares the story of how a simple suggestion at a Stanford meeting led him from analyst to the architect of a global benchmarking initiative. He explains how MLPerf benchmarks are helping enterprises and policymakers make informed decisions about AI systems, and why transparency, neutrality, and open collaboration are central to the mission. We explore what's really driving AI's explosive growth. It's not just about chips. Smarter software, algorithmic breakthroughs, and increasingly scalable system designs are all contributing to performance improvements far beyond what Moore's Law predicted. But AI's rapid progress comes with a cost. Power consumption is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges in the industry. David explains how MLCommons is helping address this with MLPerf Power and why infrastructure innovations like low-precision computation, advanced cooling, and even proximity to power generation are gaining traction. We also talk about the decision by some major vendors not to participate in MLPerf. David offers perspective on what that means for buyers and why benchmark transparency should be part of any enterprise AI procurement conversation. Beyond the data center, MLCommons is now benchmarking AI performance on consumer hardware through MLPerf Client and is working on domain-specific efforts such as MLPerf Automotive. As AI shows up in smartphones, vehicles, and smart devices, the need for clear, fair, and relevant performance measurement is only growing. So how do we measure AI that is everywhere? What should buyers demand from vendors? And how can the industry ensure that AI systems are fast, efficient, and accountable? Let's find out.

Imagine this: you're standing inside a trendy L.A. grocery store—maybe it's Erewhon. You've got a cooler full of canned soda that claims to be good for your gut. You're not a celebrity and you're not even the founder of the company. You're just a guy with a vision, a few samples, and the audacity to talk your way into a product launch.That was Steven Vigilante back in 2018. Today, Olipop—the better-for-you soda brand that he helped bring to life—is in more than 30,000 stores across the country. They've partnered with Barbie, NASCAR, the Brooklyn Nets, New York Liberty, and somehow even made it into a Luke Combs music video.But it didn't start there. Steven cut his teeth in venture capital, betting early on health forward brands. When he saw the potential in a fiber-packed functional soda, he jumped in—first as an advisor, and then as the architect behind some of the boldest growth and partnership strategies in beverage today.So how do you build a soda brand that dares to take on the likes of Coke and Pepsi? One that trades sugar for science and still wins hearts and taste buds across America?

When Rich Alderton left his high-powered corporate role on a Friday, signing off millions and fielding nonstop calls, he expected Monday to bring more of the same. Instead, the phone was silent. That stark contrast was the wake-up call: people had been in love with his title, not with him.   What followed was a journey into reinvention. Rich stepped away from corporate leadership to help others become more adaptable in a rapidly changing world.

In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with the incredible Michelle Curran—also known by her call sign "MACE"—a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and the lead solo pilot for the elite Thunderbirds demonstration team. Michelle's story is one of grit, growth, and leaning into fear, and I can honestly say this is one of the most inspiring conversations I've had on the show. We dive deep into Michelle's journey from battling imposter syndrome and self-doubt in her early military career to becoming one of the very few women ever to fly with the Thunderbirds. She opens up about the grueling training, the pressure of performing at the highest level, and how she consistently chose courage over comfort in moments where fear could've easily taken the wheel. Michelle shares powerful insights into what it takes to lead under pressure, the role of mentorship in building confidence, and why saying “yes” to scary opportunities often leads to the biggest breakthroughs. After serving her country at the highest level, she's now transitioned into life as a keynote speaker, author, and leadership consultant, helping others tap into their own version of boldness and resilience. If you've ever struggled with fear, felt like an outsider, or doubted whether you were ready for that next big step, this episode is for you. Michelle is proof that your boldest, most impactful life starts on the other side of uncertainty.

Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill sit down with certified Connection Codes coaches Tanya and James, a couple whose journey into emotional healing began in an unexpected place—deep in a remote part of British Columbia. What started as a midnight podcast listen became a life-altering pursuit of authentic connection. Tanya and James open up about their transformation from emotional shutdown and chronic pain to a marriage bursting with joy, purpose, and practical tools. From ordering the book late at night to leading small groups in their home, launching initiatives in their church, and becoming certified coaches, they share how simple—yet not easy—the journey of emotional fluency has been. Their story is an invitation to bring the tools of Connection Codes into your home, your marriage, your community—and to experience the life-changing impact for yourself.Links and Resources:Download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.connectioncodes.co/cew-podcast⁠⁠⁠Find out how to become a Certified Coach:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/certified-coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠Find a coach:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/all-coaches⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 - Kicking Off the Journey: Meet Tanya & James00:01:11 - A New Chapter Begins: Who Are Tanya and James?00:02:10 - The Moment That Changed Everything: Discovering Connection Codes00:04:34 - Turning Insight Into Action: Bringing Connection Codes to the Community00:06:52 - Real Growth, Real Struggles: Their Personal Transformation Unfolds00:08:48 - A Ripple Effect: Teaching, Leading, and Inspiring Through Change00:09:33 - From Pain to Power: How They Faced Trauma and Chronic Struggles00:11:02 - Unlocking Emotional Power: The Gift of Processing Feelings00:16:36 - Redefining the Classroom: What Happens When You Connect First00:21:25 - From Hurt to Healing: Connection as the Bridge00:23:22 - Ready to Grow?
