Simple Steps to Kill DevSec without Giving Up on Security
#1about 5 minutes
The corrosive effect of false positives in security tools
Traditional code scanners overwhelm developers with a high rate of false positives, eroding trust and causing important alerts to be ignored.
#2about 1 minute
Why the original "shift left" security movement failed
The shift left movement often failed because it simply redirected a high-noise firehose of security alerts from security teams to developers without improving signal quality.
#3about 1 minute
How Android and iOS successfully hardened their platforms
The significant increase in the market price for zero-day exploits for Android and iOS demonstrates their success in making software more expensive to hack.
#4about 6 minutes
Adopting a secure guardrails over security gates mindset
Effective security programs use secure guardrails, like providing secure defaults and actionable fixes, to guide developers without blocking their workflow.
#5about 3 minutes
Prioritize securing new code over fixing the backlog
Since vulnerabilities are exponentially more likely to be found in new code, focusing security efforts there provides a greater return than trying to fix the entire existing backlog.
#6about 3 minutes
The ROI of basic security training and securing LLMs
Elevating developers to a basic level of security awareness yields the largest reduction in vulnerabilities, a principle that now extends to securing code generated by LLMs.
#7about 3 minutes
A practical formula for an effective AppSec program
An application security program's effectiveness is a product of its components, where a poor signal-to-noise ratio can nullify all other efforts.
