Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark, the producer of CISO Series, and Steve Zalewski. Joining us is our sponsored guest, Eric Gold, chief evangelist, BackSlash.

In this episode:

  • Start with the culture
  • Moving AppSec to a higher level
  • A strategy for security
  • Maturing the basics

Thanks to our sponsor, Backslash Security

Backslash offers a new approach to application security by creating a digital twin of your application, modeled into an AI-enabled App Graph. It categorizes security findings by business process, filters “triggerable” vulnerabilities, and simulates the security impact of updates. Backslash dramatically improves AppSec efficiency, eliminating legacy SAST and SCA frustration.
