OWASP LA Monthly In-Person Meeting - Jul 23, 2025

TOPIC: The Carrot vs. The Stick: Making a Positive Impact on the Security + Developer Relationship
Join us for great networking, dinner and drinks, and see a presentation by Eitam Arad, Sr. Solutions Engineer, Arnica

ABSTRACT:
Security and development teams often work toward the same goal but rarely in sync. Misaligned incentives, late-stage scans, and noisy alerts lead to friction and slow remediation. This talk explores how shifting security earlier in the SDLC and aligning with developer workflows can improve outcomes across the board.
You'll learn how developer empowerment, real-time feedback, and actionable guidance reduce alert fatigue, shorten MTTR, and drive better collaboration between teams.
