Welcome to our OWASP Tampa 2024Q2 Lunch and Learn!

We invite you to join us and members of our local Tampa Bay community to hear from industry experts in cybersecurity. This lunch and learn will bring topics that influence discussion among your peers and provide a venue to meet others that share your passions.

Agenda:

• 11:30am - Registration and Lunch
• 12:00pm - Speaker - Chris Lindsey - From Reactive to Effective: Building Application Security that Works
• 1:00pm - Depart

Speaker:

Chris Lindsey is a seasoned speaker who has appeared at conferences, webinars, and private events. Currently building an online community and creating a podcast series, Chris draws on expertise from more than 15 years of direct security experience and over 35 years of experience leading teams in programming and software, solutions, and security architecture.

For three years, Chris built and led an entire application security program that includes the implementation of mature AppSec programs, including oversight of security processes and procedures, SAST, DAST, CSA/OSA, compliance, training, developer communication, code reviews, application inventory gathering, and risk analysis.

Abstract:

In 2023, 71% of enterprises admitted their AppSec programs were reactive, playing catch-up with vulnerability alerts -- while at the same time, applications remain the top target for threat actors. That adds up to increased business risk for a lot of companies and fuels an urgent need to improve application security strategies. But how?
The key is to move from a compliance-based approach to managing application risk.

Join Chris Lindsey, Application Security Evangelist, for an in-depth discussion of what it takes to stop playing defense when it comes to application security. He'll wrangle over topics like:

• The tell-tale signs of reactive mode
• The value of preventative best practices
• How to build security actions into the developer experience
• The need for a holistic view and effective prioritization
• Arming the security team with instant control at scale
