OWASP SLC / Wasatch AppSec

Bring Your Brain — and One Big Question!
Join us this month for an interactive virtual meetup where you set the agenda. Each attendee is invited to bring one thoughtful question about application security — technical, strategic, or even philosophical.

We’ll pick a handful of the most interesting ones to discuss together. No slides, no lectures — just great conversation, real-world stories, and collective brainpower from the community.
Examples of great questions:

1. Should developers be responsible for fixing their own vulnerabilities, or is that unrealistic?
2. How do you balance developer productivity with mandatory security controls (like SAST and IaC scanning)?
3. What’s the biggest AppSec myth you’ve seen in your company?
4. How can AI tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT help — or hurt — application security?
5. How do we get executives to care about AppSec without fear-based messaging?
6. What’s a “secure by design” feature you’ve actually seen implemented well?
7. What does career progression look like in application security today?
8. I've been telling my whole organization , and nobody believes me. Am I crazy?

Come ready to share your question, your opinions, and maybe even a few spicy takes.

Let’s make this a lively, open discussion that helps us all level up our AppSec thinking!
