A successful strategy in appsec is to build platforms with defaults and designs that ease the burden of security choices for developers. But there's an important difference between expecting (or requiring!) developers to use a platform and building a platform that developers embrace. Julia Knecht shares her experience in building platforms with an attention to developer needs, developer experience, and security requirements. She brings attention to the product management skills and feedback loops that make paved roads successful -- as well as the areas where developers may still need or choose their own alternatives. After all, the impact of a paved road isn't in its creation, it's in its adoption. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw for all the latest episodes!

Interview Segment - Lessons Learned from the tj-actions GitHub Action Supply Chain Attack with Dimitri Stiliadis Breach analysis is one of my favorite topics to dive into and I’m thrilled Dimitri is joining us today to reveal some of the insights he’s pulled out of this GitHub Actions incident. It isn’t an overstatement to say that some of the lessons to be learned from this incident represent fundamental changes to how we architect development environments. Why are we talking about it now, 4 months after it occurred? In the case of the Equifax breach, the most useful details about the breach didn’t get released to the public until 18 months after the incident. It takes time for details to come out, but in my experience, the learning opportunities are worth the wait. Topic Segment - Should the US Go on the Cyber Offensive? Triggered by an op-ed from Dave Kennedy, the discussion of whether the US should launch more visible offensive cyber operations starts up again. There are a lot of factors and nuances to discuss here, and a lot of us have opinions here. We'll see if we can do any of it justice in 15 minutes.

How do we get security right? The answer varies by many factors, including industry, what you're trying to protect, and what the C Suite and Board care about. Khaja Ahmed, Advisor at CISO Forum, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how to get consensus on your security program. CISOs, executives, and the Board need to be aligned on the risks and how best to address them. And it's not technical risks, it's business risks measured by legal or financial impact. Khaja will help guide new and existing CISOs on how to: Work across the business to build consensus Identify and quantify risks in financial and legal terms Design security from the start Be effective as a security leader In the leadership and communications section, Is the C-Suite Right for You?, What Fortune 100s are getting wrong about cybersecurity hiring, Why Communication Is Exhausting in Chaotic Workplaces, and more!

AI is more than LLMs. Machine learning algorithms have been part of infosec solutions for a long time. For appsec practitioners, a key concern is always going to be how to evaluate the security of software or a system. In some cases, it doesn't matter if a human or an LLM generated code -- the code needs to be reviewed for common flaws and design problems. But the creation of MCP servers and LLM-based agents is also adding a concern about what an unattended or autonomous piece of software is doing. Sohrob Kazerounian gives us context on how LLMs are designed, what to expect from them, and where they pose risk and reward to modern software engineering.

Segment 1 - Interview with Helen Patton: Introducing the Cybersecurity Canon Did you know that there’s a hall-of-fame for cybersecurity books? Over the past decade, the Cybersecurity Canon has published reviews on dozens of cybersecurity books and established a hall of fame. Hall of fame books are defined as titles that all cybersecurity professionals should read - a great short list for those new to the field and overwhelmed by choices. Helen Patton, co-founder and Chief of Staff for the Cybersecurity Canon joins us to tell us all about the Canon, how it came to be, and its transformation into a more visible and active organization. We’ll also discuss Helen’s own book, “Navigating the Cybersecurity Career Path”, and an upcoming second book she’s working on as well! Segment Resources: Helen's personal website The Cybersecurity Canon website Segment 2 - Topic: Does the SOC 2 need to die? AJ Yawn thinks so. The TL;DR is that he thinks industry-specific frameworks are more appropriate and effective. You can check out some more of his thoughts on LinkedIn, or on the Alice in Supply Chains podcast. Ayman recommends checking out https://mvsp.dev/ as a potential alternative (or as a complementary process to actually get secure) Segment 3 - This Week's Enterprise Security News And finally, in the enterprise security news, a bit of funding with a side of layoffs McDonald’s applicants are not lovin’ it a WILD story about a vulnerability in the US train system Meta still on the hook for $8B in privacy violations What is Agentic Misalignment?
