    A pentester walks into a bar and orders a "1 beer", "1000 beers", "-1 beers", "beer OR TRUE". Nothing bad happens. A #SAST tool walks in the bar and "finds" a way for a customer to open the cash registers. After spending a week of investigation, the bar concludes the "finding" was a false positive and while they were distracted, someone snuck in an stole a case of beer. A customer walks into the bar bathroom, does their business, and flushes the toilet. The cash registers fly open and the CO2 tank explodes. No matter how hard you try, pre-prod testing is not reality... and it's costly. Customer use in prod is reality... and free. What if your "testing" were cheaper, much more accurate, and even more secure but done in prod using customer input? Nobody does load and performance testing in pre-prod anymore. #APM successfully moved that to prod. The future of Application Security Testing (#AST) is also in prod! What do you think of calling this App/API Vulnerability Monitoring (#AVM)? #DevSecOps, #AppSec, #Cybersecurity

    According to the World Economic Forum's 2024 Global Risks Report, "Cyber insecurity" is FOURTH on the list of global risks ranked by severity. Fourth, just after "Extreme weather events" and "Societal polarization". Cyberattacks are the fourth most likely risk to present a material crisis on a global scale. I have children. I have family. I have friends. I have neighbors and coworkers. People that I care about and adore, who ARE ALL AFFECTED by cyberattacks and data breaches. Our hospitals, critical infrastructure, transportation systems, emergency systems, and general way of life are all at stake. If we want to win the war on cybercrime and have a safe future, then we NEED more people in cybersecurity. We need more defenders. Invest in the next generation, before it's too late. We're running out of time. We're running out of time. Break down the gates. #cybersecurity

    📢 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗦𝗲𝗰 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗅 The EU just announced that all paid software (excluding free and open-source software) is now considered a product for liability purposes.

    Creating highly effective application security programs

    Major AppSec news! EU declares that all paid software (not free and open source) is a product for product liability purposes. Explicitly covers software on a device, accessed via protocol, and SAAS. Does this blow software licenses with broad disclaimers out of the water? Do you think this will change AppSec forever?
