Special OWASP Stuttgart Chapter Stammtisch

OWASP and the Evolution of AppSec

Jeff Williams is visiting Germany and has offered to visit the OWASP Stammtische. A great reason to hold a special Stammtisch outside of the regular schedule!

This is the most exciting time in the history of appsec. Not only are apps/APIs more complex, connected, and critical than ever before, we haven't made much progress against vulnerabilities, the attackers have ramped up their activity dramatically, and the governments of the world are scrambling to figure out what to do. It's a mess. In this talk, Jeff will share some stories and insights from over 25 years in appsec. We'll look at some of the bigger movements in appsec like "build security in", "devsecops", "shift left", "SBOMs", and "secure by design" and talk about why they have largely failed to change the trajectory of appsec. We'll also spend some time on the different technologies organizations use to automate appsec in development and operations. Jeff will share his thoughts about the market failures that make improvements in appsec so difficult and what we can do to fix them. This will be a highly interactive session, so bring your questions and ideas.
